INTRODUCING
Sascha Abel
In his drawings, paintings, and photographs, Sascha Abel (*1984 in Bogotá, Colombia; lives and works in Berlin) explores the question of how images of memory change over the course of time. Of particular interest to him are the memories of certain biographical places and spaces from childhood. He draws on the iconography of objective representations of space and superimposes them beyond recognition. This results in vibrating psychograms of emotionally charged architectures.

I recently bought a sewing machine and started working with textiles and sewing techniques for the first time. It unexpectedly opened up a completely new direction in my practice.
The process right now is mostly about not knowing. Sewing together and tearing apart and following whatever appears through the process itself: imperfect seams, uneven edges, unstable structures. Unlearning perfectionism and finding a more instinctive way of working.
