Patriarchal systems, rooted in our history, often lead to favoring boys over girls, placing them at the center of attention while girls take secondary roles. Satellite Girl explores these biases, focusing on identity, femininity, and the limits society places on women. Using images from pop culture and daily life, it shows how girls are sometimes treated as "faceless," revolving around the identities given to boys. The artwork questions why society values boys more and highlights the need for gender equality and acceptance.

Maddilety explores the concept of combining diverse substances – ranging from municipal water to dog waste – to create new materials, capturing his spontaneous interactions with these elements in each video. Inspired by material transformations, Maddilety dissects cultural meanings associated with social commodities, viewing substance blending as an art form.

This work is based on the experiences of an Asian woman living in Germany as a foreigner, and it is developed through the perspective of a Robo fish. The narrative unfolds from the viewpoint of the robo fish, exploring the discrimination and social exclusion that foreigners often face in new environments.

The short film depicts an absurd attempt to revive a dead fish with CPR, without context or narration, emphasizing the futility and irony of the action. I Think It’s Dead is one of four films in a series exploring themes of performative guilt and responses to helplessness.

An escape from the zoo is the first of a series of leaps into the unknown. Assembled from iPhone footage, field recordings, YouTube clips, pop music, and a conversation between the artist and his friend, the film celebrates (and complicates) companionship, liberation and great music.

The video 6001 Under the Sea is dedicated to urban space, offering an intimate view of technology’s fragility. Flickering lights serve as a metaphor for the failure and vulnerability inherent in everyday technology.

Delirium is a state of mental disorder characterized by disorientation of reality, changes in perception of the world around us, as well as impaired thinking and consciousness. At the time of delirium, a person may experience a wide range of visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic sensations that may be incorrect and distorted. The reality of delirium for the person in this state is distorted and altered.

Single channel documentation of performance where a person attempts to row a sinking boat. The piece can be read as a comment on the notion of ambition as a motivational force on a personal level or as a metaphor for living in the world with an acute sense of cognitive dissonance - I know this won't work but I´ll go ahead and do it anyway.

In a time of anxiety, I felt a deep need to reconnect with myself. My starting point was childhood memories my father captured on video. Trying to bring together my past and present selves feels impossible, like two magnets that push away from each other. Watching this younger version of myself, I am left wondering, “Who is speaking now?” The title, like a date of life and death, becomes a symbol of a lost identity that memory alone cannot bring back.

In the performance Homecoming artist Shahar Marcus drives through Dresden, Germany, with two young models in the back seat. He asks locals if they know him or his work, but most have never heard of him and show little interest in art. Despite this, as he waves to people, they wave back as if he were a celebrity or a politician. This performance highlights the gap between the art scene and everyday citizens in small towns.

From the deepest dungeons of society through the spotlights of the studio to every living room: Five chosen pigs from the bio-industry are allowed to lead a luxurious ‚human life‘ in the Pig Brother house. From here they are observed by the TV-watching public. They can vote for their favorite pig and it will be spared from slaughter. Will the pigs compete for man’s favor now that they are in the center of human attention?

In pursuit of the best career opportunities, artists face numerous rejections and yet keep knocking on closed doors. How attractive and alluring the art world is, in fact, the world of art is just as inaccessible and closed to those who want to join it.
