SAUNA CONFESSIONS
Viviana Druga in collaboration with Tiberiu Bleoancă
“There are only two things sauna cannot cure: death and a broken heart“ - Finnish proverb

Galerie im Saalbau presents in a group exhibition the artworks of seven nominated artists for the Neuköllner Kunstpreis 2022.
The artist collective TBC exhibits traces of their common, neighborly work.
In her “@wut” (@anger) exhibition, Gunilla Jähnichen thematically confronts anger and attempts to fathom the ambiguity of it as a feeling.
With visible stitches, the artists in this exhibition reveal their personal scars and offer insights into strategies for self-preservation and healing. Sutures, visible traces in tissue, represent the process of artistic work and the wound healing that accompanies it. The stories of these women become visible — stories that had been concealed behind material, hidden by material. Hand-sewn textile works testify to resilience and are a collective protest against invisibility, oppression, and violence.
In everyday life, we are constantly surrounded by images. They shape the way we perceive other people and cultures.
