As part of the sixth month of Photography Off Berlin, Monika Barth and Eva Brunner are presenting their new works at The Ballery gallery in the Nollendorf neighbourhood.


MONIKA BARTH beneath the Surface & EVA BRUNNER perchance to Dream


soulscapes: Soulscapes
Monika Barth's pictures are an attempt to transcend the boundaries of reality in the ‘found’. They are an invitation to engage with the obvious and to experience a variety of deeper perceptions beyond surfaces and reflections.

Sky, earth, clouds, water, stones and plants form a cosmos of elements in the smallest of spaces, reflecting deeply personal feelings and longings. Monika Barth has worked for decades as an actress for theatre and television and as a dubbing artist and radio play narrator. After studying medicine, she worked for a time as a doctor in a specialist practice. After travelling to Cuba, she devoted herself increasingly to photography and published photo volumes such as ‘Mona L.’ (2018) and ‘La Lunga Strada’ with Kehrer Verlag (2020)


In ‘perchance to dream’, Swiss photographer and author Eva Brunner takes us into a world between fantasy and reality, between authenticity and staging. As if in a daydream, we embark on a journey with constantly changing scenery in urban spaces and natural worlds, always at the interface between the private and the public. Permanently present in the flow of images, her muse, the science fiction author Bernhard Kempen, takes on different roles, as a partner and in his trans identity as Barbara. Together they create a visual narrative that breaks through traditional boundaries.

Eva Brunner was a student in Prof. Arno Fischer's last masterclass at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie Berlin. This was followed by seminars with Todd Weinstein, Anders Petersen, Sven Marquardt and Wolfgang Zurborn. Eva's work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad. At the end of 2020
her first photo book ‘No Escape from Paradise’ (Edition Babev).
