Venice BeReal
Stefanie Bürkle

What are the images Venice has been sending out into the world for centuries, what ideas and expectations have they triggered, and how do these images and expectations apply to the city of Venice today? Berlin-based artist Stefanie Bürkle has been photographing Venice on her travels for 30 years. From 2022 to 2025, she carried out Imaginationen Venedigs (Imaginations of Venice), an artistic research project that is part of ‘Refiguration of Spaces’, a special research department at the TU Berlin.

The artist regards her visual production as part of the global circulation of images, a loop in which Venice is trapped, reproduced, reduced, and multiplied as a projection surface for a variety of imagined spaces. With Venice BeReal, she now presents the results of the project for the first time. Her Venice atlas, an artistic archive of images of Venice, forms the centre of the exhibition.

In addition to analogue and digital photographs, video excerpts from project interviews offer insight into Venice’s realities. A key video work transports the artistic archive from Stefanie Bürkle’s studio into the centre of the exhibition space, among visitors.
