“THE AGE OF CEREMONY” by Vasil Berela & Jana Jacob

,

OPENING: 02 MAY 2025 | 17-20:00
ON SHOW: 03.05 – 07.06.2025 | Tue-Sat | 11-19:00.

In a time of disconnection and hyper-visibility, the exhibition honors the quiet rituals of being—moments of self-reflection, emotional unraveling, and private acts of presence. Through their respective works, Berela and Jacob reveal the body as a vessel for deeper psychological and existential inquiry.

Vasil Berela

Vasil Berela, artist’s portrait

Berela’s work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Berlin and internationally, making him an established artist. His multidisciplinary practice explores themes of human emotion, alienation, and the fragility of life. Berela often shows the body within geometric, laboratory-like environments. In his artworks, the line between the internal and the external is blurry, the curious worlds he creates exist within a completely unique third space.

Jacob’s practice explores intimacy, identity, and the human experience through carefully rendered portraits. Her subjects are often nude, in domestic settings, making them appear fragile. In recent years, she has also been experimenting with self portraits, often incorporating household objects and Thai textiles into the images she creates. In doing that, Jacob finds a way to examine both personal history and cultural identity.
