MASA BERLIN is initiated and organized by Isabel Schmiga and Sandra Teitge.


For MASA BERLIN #7, the Berlin-based artist Asli Sungu (*1975) presents her video installation

UNVERMEIDBAR [INEVITABLE]. The films show four daily domestic situations, in which the

artist loses control; the viewer is tempted to prevent these mishaps by wanting to physically

intervene. The surface of a mirror captures the reflections of the little accidents and

simultaneously represents the boundaries of intervention. The theme of UNVERMEIDBAR is

helplessness, a feeling that we try to manage and control by intervening in situations in order

to withstand the uncontrollable emotional experience. The intentional actions and the attempt

to intervene metaphorically reveal futility and loss in the form of familiar activities.
