Countertransference, Elke Burkert
3. 4. 2025—31.5.2025



Countertransference focuses on the relationship between materials and how we perceive them. The exhibition explores the psychological and material interplay in which objects—such as paper, bricks, or stones—are transformed through the artistic process, taking on new roles and meanings. The term countertransference, borrowed from psychology, describes the procedure in which emotions and personal associations are projected onto materials, allowing them to acquire personal and unique meanings. In this exhibition, the material becomes an active participant in the creative dialogue. Through artistic processes like photography, lithography, and the creation of book objects, substances are reinterpreted into new forms, carrying visual but also emotional content. These transformations create a flow of perception and memory, provoking emotional responses between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer. Artist Elke Burkert’s work demonstrates how materials evolve and acquire new identities. In Countertransference she invites us to reflect on how materials act as carriers of memory, perception, and psychological significance, engaging us in a dynamic and ongoing dialogue.













































LIMINAL CERTAINTIES
6.9. 2024—31.1.2025



How do the spaces we inhabit and the societal constructs we navigate influence our perception of assurance, and what happens when these notions are questioned? Liminal Certainties explores structures that society regards as stable, secure or permanent, and examines whether these frameworks genuinely provide the certainty they purport to. Through the exploration of space, identity, and traditional societal mechanisms, the artworks reveal fragile liminal moments in which the boundaries of stability begin to dissipate, inviting visitors to reflect on the imperfection of these systems. At its core, the exhibition focuses on the transposition of social and intimate spaces — from the candid gestures and internal aspects of private life being documented or exposed, to the broader concept of ‘home’ as a politically contested site of identity and security. Home, which may offer us social assurances, linguistic affinity, and a sense of understanding, is also a place where we hope to find refuge for rest and sleep. The exhibition examines sleep as a metaphor for security and certainty, and looks to the world of dreams for answers to questions about the future.
