Posthuman – Based On & Maintained By Illusion 🗓️ 5.02. – 4.03.2026 📍REX Box Bern 📍HKB Mediothek After Bel-Air Tea Room in Beatenberg, the trilogy “Based On & Maintained By Illusion” is coming to Bern. The exhibition presents a three part video intervention that takes a Robert Walser-esque walk through Beatenberg and appreciating what has become the ordinary whilst documenting the human & non-human interaction with what is dubbed as “Nature” by humans. In the walks, the video confronts us with drones, a human made of bakery treats, planes, bins decorated with frescos of nature and lots of people cutting grass. Artist: James Stephen Wright @jamesstephenwright Curator: Andrea Domesle The exhibition can be viewed free of charge from the outside in the REX Box, the former ticket office. The videos can also be seen in the display window of the HKB Mediothek, Mon-Fri 9:00 to 17:00. Thanks to our cooperation partner: Résidence d’artistes Chalet Erika Beatenberg.

Videocity x Tea-Room Bel-Air Beatenberg 🗓️20.01.2026 – 20.02.2026 📍Tea-Room Bel-Air, Spirenwaldstrasse 286, 3803 Beatenberg We are delighted to announce Videocity’s exhibition at Tea-Room Bel-Air in Beatenberg. Join us for the curator introduction by Andrea Domesle on Saturday 24th January at 15:00. Artist: James Stephen Wright. Curator: Andrea Domesle. For this video trilogy, the artist James Stephen Wright took a walk through Beatenberg in the spirit of Robert Walser. The writer appreciates what is commonly referred to as the ordinary. In doing so, he pays attention to the human and non-human interaction with nature – whereby ‘nature’ is to be understood as humans understand it. James Stephen Wright was the first guest artist to be invited to the Videocity Residency in Beatenberg in 2023.
