SUBSTATION LICHT — Entangling light and industrial memory
In this exhibition, MARTA DJOURINA and BEN GREBER share a common quest: to make visible what usually escapes the eye or has vanished, capturing light, memory, and form.
MARTA DJOURINA works with a camera‑less photographic practice in which light itself becomes both medium and subject. Through performative gestures on photosensitive paper she creates abstract traces, chromatic landscapes, and sculptural folds that can reach up to six meters. From attaching a pinhole device to a dove in flight to exposing paper directly, her works explore touch, movement, and the fleeting nature of perception.
BEN GREBER creates sculptures and large‑scale installations inspired by industrial aesthetics and the idea of de‑objectification. Through reduction and reinterpretation, he transforms technical remnants and architectural fragments into autonomous entities, evoking the invisible layers of social processes and the lasting imprint of history. His works become repositories of memory, oscillating between function and disappearance.
SUBSTATION LICHT brings their practices into dialogue: light as a vibrant trace in Djourina’s work, form as a silent memory in Greber’s—together revealing a shared terrain where the invisible becomes tangible and light itself turns into matter and symbol.
Founded by artist-curator Pierre Granoux, LAGE EGAL (“location doesn’t matter”) crystallizes years of underground experimentation into a nomadic gallery model. Between Berlin and Brussels, it stages tightly curated duo and group shows — creating sharp dialogues between emerging and established artists across unconventional spaces. Mobility defines its ethos. Through collaborations with artists, independent curators, alternative spaces and galleries, LAGE EGAL challenges white cube conventions while keeping contemporary art encounters urgent and accessible. Here, art thrives where you least expect it.
