Installation
Sonya Schönberger
EXHIBITION VENUE: KUNSTHALLE (7)
Sonya Schönberger – is a Berlin-based artist whose practice engages with biographical ruptures in the context of political or social upheavals. The source of her artistic exploration lies in people themselves, who speak about these experiences in biographical conversations. In this way, several archives have been created, while already existing, sometimes found archives also flow into her work. In 2018, she initiated “Berliner Zimmer”, a long-term video archive based on the narratives of people in Berlin.
