Entropy Exhibition

In seven stages, artist and researcher Cory Tamler is spending the autumn walking the twenty-seven kilometers of the Panke river from its source area in Bernau to its two mouths in Berlin. Each walk experiments with performative, literary, and oral forms of getting to know the Panke and archiving the encounters. On Sunday, Oct 26th as a special addition to the Fluid Interdisciplinarities Festival, participants are invited to join the third walk, a 7.5km segment crossing from Bernau into Berlin. Designed and led in collaboration with dramaturg and writer To Doan, this walk is an exercise in speculative thinking with the Panke: as we move through fields and forests, past dismantled castles and abandoned buildings, behind shopping malls and ponds rich with wildlife, we find ways together to care for and carry the stories that arise. The group will meet at 11am and will not return to Berlin until approximately 4:30pm. Walk size is limited; please RSVP.

When: Sat, 26th Oct, 11am - 4:40pm
Where: S-Bahn Friedrichstr. Exact location will be shared after RSVP.
RSVP required.

Planned as part of the Entropy exhibition program is a screening of Possessed by Djinn (2015) by Jordanian filmmaker Dalia Al Kury. The documentary investigates a tragic case in Amman and unfolds into a powerful exploration of belief, trauma, and the unseen in contemporary Arab societies. Following the screening, an artist talk will take place with Dalia Al Kury and Hagar Ophir (Bound with the Living). Both artists engage with invisible or silenced narratives in their work, addressing questions of spirituality, representation, and social taboos. The event is conceived to open a dialogue with the audience and to create resonances between their practices and the project Farah Bouamar will be presenting in the exhibition.

An evening of embodied, myth-infused meandering through Eurasia, where elemental forces act as both deities and catalysts across history, spirituality, and imagination. Through re-remembered mystical technologies, sound, and ritual, a Muslim and a Jewish artist, Mudassir Shekh and Nimrod Astarhan, insist on holding tensions of coexistence and contradiction. Blending sacred and playful, serious and absurd, the work draws on mythology, science, and irony to connect closely linked locales, creating a space where dialogue resonates through myth and sound without seeking resolution.
