Artists

Nina Könnemann

Press release

In May 2025, Haus am Waldsee will present a comprehensive solo exhibition by the Berlin-based artist Nina Könnemann. In her work, Könnemann explores how people behave in public spaces, focusing on marginal areas, everyday behaviour, and subcultural dynamics. With precision and astute observation, she documents movements shaped by latent social conventions. Her camera often captures the transitional zones of public events: spaces on the periphery of festivals, demonstrations, sports events, and the traces people leave behind at such mass gatherings. Könnemann condenses these seemingly insignificant moments into filmic reflections on unnoticed social mechanisms, creating portraits of contemporary life through unofficial narratives.

For her exhibition at Haus am Waldsee, Könnemann will show new videos, developed through a collaborative, decentralised approach that follows the process of creating an artistic film in real time. A new sculptural installation will also be on display, continuing her ongoing project Lithic Reductions.
