From September 5 to October 11, 2026, Iris Helena Hamers showcased her work ~*^-._3N3RGY_4NG3L_.-^*~ at PAW's Düsseldorf venue, accompanied by text from Morgane Billuart. Hamers creates UV prints on aluminum Dibond, intricately cut to match motif outlines and combined with diverse materials. Among her pieces is Frog-Swans, Most Wonderful, which is displayed on dance poles. Additional works include Problem, Your Final Form, 2 A.M. Hobby, Headache, and The Breath of Flutes Will Float Around You. Billuart's narrative involves a mother taking away a phone, exploring themes of digital world-building. Born in 1988, Hamers studied under Anselm Reyle and is currently pursuing an MA at ZHdK Zurich. The installation was photographed by Kai Werner Schmidt, with a review published by Catapult Contemporary.
