The ground connects the body to the earth and symbolizes inner as well as outer stability. It becomes a metaphor for life, identity, and creative expression. During personal or societal upheavals, this foundation can become unstable, giving the impression of "losing ground." In the inclusive exhibition "Der Boden, auf dem ich stehe" (The Ground I Stand On), artists from Spandau reflect on their perspectives and experiences with this topic.

The Berlin based artist Enes Icer works in series. Through repeated dynamic sketches, Icer removes his subjects from their systems of meaning, creating multi-layered compositions in which drawing, writing, and color intertwine, allowing for new ways of interpretation.

Driven by the repetitive rhythm of the line, paper, textiles, or print templates become Icer's experimental field, where the artist often expresses his perception of the world with a humorous undertone. His text images oscillate between concrete poetry, transparency and personal notes.

Icer's portrait heads and animals – cows, sheep, birds – are "clones" with individual character, reflecting a lived diversity. They form herds that roam across gallery walls, much like changing pastures: from one place to the next, from one season to the following. Since 2014, Icer has had his studio in the Kunsthafen imPerfekt. With his unique perspective and distinctive style, the artist enriches the field of so-called Outsider Art.
