DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM presented a three-person exhibition featuring Julian Charrière, Andreas Greiner, and Julius von Bismarck, titled New-to-Nature.
The project marked the first time the three artists have composed a show together, promoting a unique visual and conceptual dialogue. Each has staked out a distinct position on nature and observation: Charrière explores post-Romantic constructions of ‘nature’, staging tensions between geological timescales and those relating to humankind, and Greiner infuses empathy into landscapes and organisms with outsized stature and non-human perspective, while Bismarck embraces the violence of provoking the world with his penetrating gaze. New-to-Nature creates an environment of undulating kinetic sculpture, staged photography, AI manipulations, and video works casting a digital aura.
