Paula Breuer's 'Wet Wings' Explores Adolescence and Metamorphosis at Studio Hanniball

Paula Breuer's exhibition 'Wet Wings' at Studio Hanniball in Berlin delves into the emotional transitions between childhood and early adulthood. The show features works on paper, canvas, and papier-mâché sculptures, including an oversized insect and elongated human figures. Breuer draws from observations, dreams, and fictional narratives, often inserting herself into the works as a figure in shifting roles. The exhibition explores themes of identity, vulnerability, and transformation, with a melancholic yet self-ironic tone. Site-specific wall drawings extend the dreamlike logic into the space. The title references the fragile moment when wings are present but flight has not yet begun, evoking Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis'. Animals like grasshoppers and crabs recur, mirroring human states. The exhibition runs at Studio Hanniball, Berlin.
