Julia Kissina
Bereznitsky Gallery (new location), Berlin
I can see something you can't see. With these images Kissina, already known as a subtle story teller with or without her camera, describes dream and trance states; her artistic roots lie in surrealism and sweep into our contemporary world. Also on view: Tales and Game. Latest positions from Ukraine and Russia: paintings, objects and mixed media.
The opening exhibition of the new spaces from the Bereznitsky Gallery dedicates Julia Kissina. She lets the uncanny swing like a grotesque pendulum from the humorous into homelike cosiness and back again: "I can see something you canʼt see." Especially children are being metamorphosed, also by Hollywood directors working in the horror film genre, from their proverbial childlike innocence into little monsters. The genre is build a suspense in which initially only slightly altered, irrational patterns of behaviour prepare the way for the protagonistsʼ sudden decline, where the uncanny and paranormal have the upper hand.
With these images Kissina, already known as a subtle story teller with or without her camera, describes dream and trance states; her artistic roots lie in surrealism and sweep into our contemporary world. Everything is mere parody - or is it not? Something slightly disquieting remains...
