Frank Ockenfels 3: Introspection invites you to break with convention and explore your inner world through creativity.

Have you ever looked at your body and imagined it as something else – a shape, a form, a sculpture? The Body As Sculpture invites you to break free from rigid beauty standards. Through self-portraits, sculpture and surrealist collages, Sassen deconstructs and reshapes the human body to embrace its infinite forms - highlighting the connection between outer and inner transformation.

In a world of change and chaos, there is a quiet revolution in the art of simply being present. It’s in the often-overlooked everyday moments that we find a serene kind of power. In a faraway shining star, twinkling in hand, Rinko Kawauchi inspires us to slow down and reflect on how to make the most of living here and now.

In Adorning The Self (2024) Berlin-based photographer Jakob Tillmann captures the many ways in which people wear jewelry in intimate and thought-provoking portraits. His photographic approach invites viewers to reflect on the deeper meanings behind adornment, offering a fresh perspective on how these personal symbols shape our interactions with the world.
