Göksu Baysal’s works combine found objects, ceramics and architectural elements into assemblages that resemble fragments of a possible architecture. Everyday materials are reconfigured into new structural relationships, echoing photographic concepts such as reversal and negative/positive.
Yasmin Nebenführ approaches photography as a material process. Working with reversal film altered by time and chemical decay, her images shift between representation and abstraction. Presented as illuminated light boxes, the works become objects in which traces of cultural artefacts emerge from unstable surfaces.
Marina Stanimirovic’s installations bring together steel, glass and found domestic elements in fragmented spatial compositions. Her works often resemble the remains of a dysfunctional infrastructure, where support structures appear bent, padded or temporarily repaired. Moving between personal memory and collective histories, her installations reflect on how care, maintenance and survival become embedded in objects, architectures and everyday rituals.
The opening of Müller Contemporary marks a new chapter following the activities of UNTILED Gallery, initiated in 2022 and developed through exhibitions at its Sofia gallery space and through collaborative projects in the region. Together with curator Teodora Kotseva, the gallery has presented exhibitions with artists from across Europe and participated in international festivals and art fairs, including Art Athina 2025, Sofia Art Week 2023 and BUNA Varna 2024 / 2025 amongst others.
With the opening of the space in Berlin, Müller Contemporary continues this program while expanding its engagement with contemporary artistic practices in an international context, with a particular interest in positions connected to Southeastern Europe.
Göksu Baysal (*1975 in Ankara, Turkey) lives and works in Berlin.
Photography, sculpture, film, and installation are central elements of his artistic practice. The interplay between these mediums arises through an interdisciplinary engagement with materials he collects during his travels and research. In his expansive installations, these materials are brought together in ephemeral and narrative constellations.
Yasmin Nebenführ is an Australian photo-media artist based in Berlin, Germany. Engaging with themes of entropy, the passage of time, decay, and macro and micro locations; her experimental practice incorporates digital and analogue techniques to present abstract imagery. Predominantly working with extensive collections of found imagery, Yasmin utilises her archiving work experience throughout her practice and constantly seeks new ways to transform and re-present images and their narratives.
