Sonja Braas at Galerie Tanit: Photography and the Construction of Reality

exhibition · 2026-05-29

At Galerie Tanit, Sonja Braas's exhibition probes the tension between photography as evidence and as construction. Her staged images of tornadoes, icebergs, and jungles are built from wire, cotton, concrete, and pipe cleaners, yet circulate as seemingly transparent records. The works challenge trust and doubt in visual media.
