Concept:
Zone of Turbulence brings together works exploring displacement, transition, and the search for healing within changing realities.
The exhibition centres on the question of what holds us when everything shifts. Rooted in personal experience, it reflects on how we adapt, survive, and reconstruct ourselves in conditions of instability.
The show creates a space for pause, reflection, and shared presence.

About the Artist:
Elena Rapkina is an artist and psychologist working with themes of trauma, resilience, and transformation. She is also the founder of the Artistic Research and Social Innovation Foundation.
Originally from Belarus, she was forced to leave due to political repression, later lived and worked in Ukraine, and relocated again following the full-scale war. Her practice is rooted in personal experience and explores how individuals navigate instability and rebuild a sense of self.
Her work has been presented across contemporary art platforms in Europe, including Zagreb Contemporary Art Museum (Croatia), National Center for Contemporary Arts (Belarus), SÜDBAHNHOF fotografische Werke (Germany), Mark Rothko Art Center (Latvia), Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture (Ukraine), Ars Electronica (Austria), Pakhuis de Zwijger (Netherlands).

Curated by: Dani Hasrouni
Berlin is a city of constant friction, rebuilding, remembering, resisting. People arrive, drift, and reinvent themselves. Yet one question persists: What does it mean to be here?
HERE brings together photographers who examine presence, displacement, and the shifting urban landscape. Through analogue and digital practices, the works explore the fragile tension between belonging and estrangement.
The exhibition reveals Berlin in its contradictions, at once intimate and elusive. Photography becomes more than documentation; it becomes a way of positioning oneself within the city’s flux. A pause in motion. A question held in light:
Do we belong to the city, or are we merely passing through?
