Kathrin Linkersdorff Microverse

Following numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad, the Berlin-based artist Kathrin Linkersdorff presents an overview of her artistic work, which sits at the tension point between art and science, at Haus am Kleistpark in Berlin. As part of the European Month of Photography (EMOP), this exhibition presents works from various recent series, including “Wabi Sabi” (2013-2017), “Floriszenzen” (from 2019 onwards), and “Fairies” (from 2020 onwards), as well as her current project “Microverse” (from 2023 onwards).

The exhibition is centered on the most recent series, “Microverse I, II and III,” and includes a wall-spanning work that has never been shown before. It consists of four parts, its composition recalling images of cosmic nebulae and galaxies. Linkersdorff created these works as part of her research as an artist in residence at the Cluster of Excellence “Matters of Activity” at the Institute for Biology/Microbiology at Humboldt-Universität in Berlin. While there, Linkersdorff was able to observe the behavior of simple soil bacteria in biochemical processes of decay and thereby document cyclical processes of nature in her work.

Kathrin Linkersdorff (b. 1966) is widely viewed as one of the most promising photographers today. Her photographic work has been featured in many national and international exhibitions and published in two monographic photobooks (Hartmann Books).
