CLUB

CLUB brings together three artistic perspectives that, each in its own way, render the hidden visible. In his media art installations, Jakob Limmer explores the dynamic interplay between rebellion and curiosity, questioning structures of authority and power. Through photography, Marta Pohlmann-Kryszkiewicz focuses her gaze on processes of transformation, searching for what objects and fragments conceal within their layers. In his sculptures and visual art, Martin Böttger approaches the themes of human evolution and the transformation of the body.


Jakob Limmer, born in 1988 in Bamberg, studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig from 2016 to 2020. Under the guidance of Prof. Joachim Blank, he specialized in media art in the Class for Installation and Space. Prior to this, he completed a degree in Sound Design in the MultiMediaArt programme at the Fachhochschule Salzburg.
In his artistic practice, he explores how structures affect the body and how this relationship opens up possibilities for action. The starting point for his work is the observation that we are constantly confronted with systems, rules, and built environments, while simultaneously engaged in influencing, subverting, or adapting to them. When soft, body-like materials encounter rigid, structural elements, pressure, resistance, adaptation, and vulnerability become visible. His sculptures, wall objects, and installations create a space in which questions of action, resistance, and human presence can be explored.

Martin Böttger lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He studied Visual Communication and New Media at the Art and Design University Kassel and completed Joel Baumann’s masterclass in 2010. From 2010 to 2014, Martin Böttger worked as a research and artistic associate for New Media at the Art and Design University Kassel while pursuing his doctorate. Since 2014, he has been a lecturer at SRH University Berlin, teaching audiovisual performance and computer-generated imagery. His work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at Kunsthaus Erfurt in Erfurt, Maus Contemporary Birmingham in the United States, and the Osaka Museum in Osaka, Japan.
His artistic practice focuses on sculpture and visual art, exploring themes such as human evolution, transformation through reshaping, and an abstract investigation of the body and its optimization.

Marta Pohlmann-Kryszkiewicz lives and works in Leipzig. She studied photography with Peter Piller and Astrid Klein at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB) and graduated in 2016.
Her artistic focus lies in photography, photo collages, and participatory performances. She explores transformation, remnants and so-called “remains,” as well as the legibility of objects, investigating the structures and layers of material processes of change — ranging from black-and-white works and faded colors to brightness and intensity. Her photobook Natural Forms (Vexer Verlag, 2019) reinterprets objects and fragments through photographic appropriation, giving new meaning to their histories. Alongside her photographic practice, Pohlmann-Kryszkiewicz develops participatory formats. In her performance Wenn das Summen sichtbar wird (“When the Humming Becomes Visible”), conceived as a “movement choir,” she examines how bodily movement can dissolve perceptions of spatial and bodily boundaries within public space.
