Gallerist, Collector, Art Patron.

Sophie Thun. Wet Rooms

14.03 – 10.08.2025

Playing with the concepts of scale and trompe l’œil, the vast photo installations created by Sophie Thun take the exhibition space as their starting point. The artist renders modes of production visible through a complex process of layering that questions any fixed notion of time and space.
