KAMERA SERIES N° 11 | CHRISTINE GEDEON
03-07 December 2025 | Labor Neunzehn | Berlin
Unique 2025 event of KAMERA SERIES | experimental films and printed matter, fifth edition. KAMERA is a screening program and exhibition of moving images, video art works and artists' books in a former GDR building in Berlin, focusing on critical exchanges about contemporary image. This year, AVARIE and Labor Neunzehn are delighted to invite Christine Gedeon, a visual artist born in Aleppo and raised in the U.S., working between New York and Berlin. Gedeon’s practice moves between drawing, mapping, and experimental film, engaging with themes of memory, loss, and erasure, often through a process that intersects art, personal archives, and investigative research.
This single edition is entirely self-produced, and audience support is essential to keep KAMERA alive in a year without public funding. Thank you!
