A place of energy, a dynamic place, a place that moves with the heartbeat of the city and constantly reinvents itself. It offers a multitude of unique and extraordinary rooms and architectural situations on a space of more than five thousand square meters.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Cornelius Perino 

Born in Hamburg in 1958, the image and object constructor Cornelius Perino has lived and worked as a visual artist, musician and performer in Berlin for 30 years. Perino constructs his objects and images with a visionary fury that finds its way unrestrained into his work. The most conceivably diverse materials and techniques come together abruptly, with enormous aesthetic force. But the artist does not stop there. He sets his vision of the changeable work of art against the tendency towards rigidity of our time. The viewer has the possibility to play with the works via sensors or manually and to change them visually. Surfaces can be shifted, rotating roller segments constantly produce new image variations and slowly descending washers on threaded rods compose symphonies of sound. As a restless wanderer through the media worlds of the art world, Perino’s creative output is always full of surprises.

Maily Nguyen 

Maily, a Berlin-based artist of Vietnamese descent, describes her style as a mix-media combination of bright color pastels. Oil, acrylic and collages on paper, canvas or textile are just some of the materials she uses for her pieces.

At the Sensus X Elio Art Fair at Kühlhaus Berlin, Maily curates her own area to exhibit her artworks while inviting fashion designer Diana König, photographer Catherine Mamani Valles and model Maureen Berend to present their recent joint  project “Isolation”. Catherine Mamani Valles Cartherine uses photography as her medium of expression.She mainly uses photo series to depict thought  and feeling processes that are often staged in nature. It is particularly important to her that looking at the pictures arouses feelings that induce reflection.

Stefanie Egedy 

Stefanie Egedy is a sound worker that operates as an artist, whose practice evolves around sound. Her motto is sub-bass, bass sounds, subwoofers, and their capacity to reveal themselves as present in a space. Exploring human and architectural bodies, the interactions and potential for new creations are of greatest interest. Besieged by this scenario, Stefanie articulates the cross- over between sonorous and musical language to investigate communication between beings. Stefanie Egedy works with field recordings, electronic and daily material sounds.

Ozan Polat 

Street art Photographer. born and raised in Berlin, Germany. A young student, studying civil engineering, Ozan discovered his passion for photography during the first covid-19 lockdown in Berlin. He started with taking pictures of the “awkward emptiness” of the city and through that, his view on photography changed into a more pure form, toying with the light, dark and the different shades of grey in between. Following the mindset of „Photography and Art should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.“

Paul Battenberg-Cartwright 

Anchored in myth, Paul Battenberg-Cartwright’s practice of rituals conjures notions of duality and tension, be that through a taut relationship between a sculpture and it’s user or through performative acts carried out by the artist himself. His exploration of the ancestral, culminating in a wide range of works from Conceptual performance theory, drawing, painting and sculpture challenge the lines between known truths and constructed histories that influence the human experience. Pushing the boundaries between comfortable observation and active participation, new life is brought to natural materials and forms, whilst his works as part of the Battenberg-Cartwright collaboration celebrate the spiritual duality of opposing genders. In his work, the body becomes a vessel. To express, to be put to work, to be confronted. Opposing states are pitched against each other to draw out a dance of energies, and historical and mythological sources that inform the artist’s practice are drawn upon to translate this energy into object. Having obtained his Masters degree from the University of the Arts London in 2013, Cornish-born artist Paul Battenberg-Cartwright currently lives and works in Berlin.  For this exhibition with Sensus Berlin he exhibits a series of sculptures drawing upon notions of rituals and transcendency through  the use of objects, inspired by the myths and legends of his homeland.

Giosuey

My works are media to express feelings and fantasies. I love to be on the road with my camera and capture moments that fascinate me. Sometimes I let myself glide and other times I know exactly which photo I will take. With my work I want to show my audience certain moments and places of life in their beauty and authenticity. I find something interesting and admirable in all things.
My intense involvement with film and photography began after I graduated from high school. In the south of France I started to earn money with surf photography and afterwards I started to shoot music videos in Berlin. Meanwhile I study film in Berlin and work on various projects with audiovisual media.
