NOTHING EVER DISAPPEARS, the fourth exhibition by frau reim, explores the mysterious force we call fate, or fortune — a swarm of possibilities constantly evolving and circulating between us and in our universe.
NOTHING EVER DISAPPEARS is an evolvutive exhibition whose first episode takes place at WIRWIR, berlin, on 17 september 2026.
it rests on a simple premise: when the conditions of possibility are present, anything may happen. but are these conditions purely arbitrary, or can they be bent?
faced with the unstability of our existence, we have since untold times invented stories, rituals, organised religions to explain our own creation and that of the world at large in an attempt to communicate with a hypothetical universal force.
these spiritual calls to an immense, indifferent universe may seem futile, yet answer a profound human need to feel connected to the unknown, and perhaps thus regain some influence our own fate.
NOTHING EVER DISAPPEARS explores our relationship with the universe, with the perpetual transformation of nature, and with our own shifting selves. It traces how everything that has ever existed leaves residues within us, carried forward as matter and memory, endlessly recombined into other forms, other beings, other worlds.
NOTHING EVER DISAPPEARS ventures into the cavern of everything we must simultaneously absorb and forget in order to become ourselves.
in this first episode, five artists present works exploring the territory of chance.
feriel bendjama engages with sufi whirling, where the spinning body becomes an image of how the self can dissolve within a cycle while simultaneously rediscovering itself.
alex and john gailla reveal the miraculous reappearance of family photographs destroyed in the fire that consumed their childhood home in 2015.
lan hungh performs mystery itself.
alexine chanel plays god through the use of the ai oracle: a stack of anonymous portraits retrieved from a wastebasket years ago in budapest are arbitrarily dealt a name, a place and date of birth, and a life story.
karø goldt’s site-specific photographic installation *vault of vanitas III* refers to ancestor worship in the broadest sense. animism and aspects of shamanism are explored visually and go beyond ritualised remembrance of the dead.
sandra schuck navigates the space between the construction of one’s own reality and the projections of the other in performance “not in”.
all visitors of the show will collectively participate to the creation of the fourth reincarnation of frau reim.
the exhibition culminates on sunday 20 september, when NOTHING EVER DISAPPEARS itself will vanish.
this disappearance marks the end the first episode, before the project re-emerges in its second chapter, planned to open on 12 june 2027 at manoir mouthier, mouthier-haute-pierre, france.

a casual corridor is an outdoor vitrine exhibition space at WIRWIR with a monthly changing show.
WIRWIR is an artist run project space developed by Adrian Schiesser and April Gertler and located in former shop premises in Berlin-Neukölln. Over the years the need was recognised to experiment with varying formats of artistic presentation and creation and in doing so, we continue to create multiple access points including collaborative artist walks, an art bar, lecture/baking performances, exhibitions, video screening evenings and self-published zines and books which often correspond to events, exhibitions and actions that have taken place in or along side WIRWIR.
Have a listen to April and Adrian talk about WIRWIR for ART NEXT DOOR - a podcast by Tuce Erel.
Back in 2015, Adrian and April met the Austrian artist Uli Aigner. They invited her to participate in SONNTAG in 2016. She showed the first 250 vessels from her (then) new project EINE MILLION. The premise of the project was to make one million ceramic vessels for the rest of her life.
We were thrilled to work with her and she was equally happy to have a chance to show the new project in Berlin for the first time.
Since then, conversations, collaborations, apple strudels and much more have been shared. Uli entrusted her project TERRITORIAL CLAIM on long term loan to WIRWIR.
TERRITORIAL CLAIM is a project within EINE MILLION created in 2016 - it includes 206 vessels of all shapes and sizes. Every vessel has a country written on it and every country is a member state of the United Nations. Uli's TERRITORIAL CLAIM is a collaborating vessel and has already found its way
into many projects taking place at WIRWIR.
It is with incredible thanks to Uli Aigner and Michal Kosakowski for entrusting WIRWIR with this amazing work.
