Sebastian Bieniek
Curator: Robbie Vafai

13 – 18 July 2018

The exhibition reflects Bieniek's work with the concept of duality as an unity of opposites, that is also described in the statement "Both is the same" of the artist. The exhibition is an overview of the artist’s photographic work from the years 2013 to 2018 and includes a live performance which demonstrates how the artist is transferring his ideas from different artistic mediums into others.
