An exhibition by Flash and the Shadows
The exhibition brings together four artists from Berlin, Chicago, and Tokyo who engage with the fundamental elements of visual design: color, texture, composition, and light.
Their works combine photographic precision with experimental approaches – from minimalist clarity through meditative color worlds to algorithmic image processes.
Together they explore urban spaces, everyday poetry, and the interplay of light and shadow. They employ both traditional and new creative tools such as AI to open up unexpected perspectives and tell stories that hover between presence and absence.

Visual Meditation
In the creative process, Heather M. Schmaedeke immerses herself in a meditative practice. Her focus lies on the interplay of color, texture, and pattern to find visual solutions that create something new and unexpected
Ina Kerkhoff
Berlin
Minimalist Beauty
Ina Kerkhoff‘s photographs impress through their pronounced sense of aesthetics and composition. In her work, she captures the pulse of the metropolis as well as the poetry of everyday life—with distinctive clarity, precision, and minimalism.
Megumi Kamiya
Tokyo
In Praise of Shadow, Silence of Light
Megumi Kamiya‘s images revolve around being lost in modernity. Again and again, she explores lights and shadows and invites us on a journey into the night, where she feels most at home.
Markus Lehr
Berlin
Speculative Spaces between Image and Algorithm
Markus Lehr‘s images explore urban and post-industrial landscapes. They show hints of humans as well as their absence, creating spaces permeated by stories without explicitly telling them. He combines photography and algorithmic image processes with questions about identity, memory, and perception.
