Mateo Contreras Gallego uses photography, videos and installations as media for his artistic work. He is fascinated by the exploration of visual as well as narrative motifs of absence. He encounters phenomena such as farewell, abandonment and death in his everyday experiences and those of his Colombian relatives with their religious and mystical beliefs. In his works, scenes emerge in which space and light form a relationship of tension and reveal a longing. Contreras Gallego is from Bogotá, Colombia, and graduated in 2022 with a master's degree in fine arts from the UdK Berlin in Ursula Neugebauer's class. He is currently a guest lecturer at the Institute for Art in Context at the UdK Berlin.

We are thrilled to announce the second edition of SHOT# – a series of short exhibitions that provide a platform for experimental formats. 

In the beginning, there is a large shelf. Inside: strange things, mixtures of different substances and forms, everyday things, raw material, artificial or natural, solid or liquid, dead or alive. Maria Braune, Erik Esso, Tim Freiwald, Schirin Kretschmann, Florian Kuhn and Manuel Strauß have gathered them together.
