Eden is not a place on a geographical map but an imagined point of orientation towards which humanity has aspired for centuries. Time and again, people sought to construct a “garden of perfection”, a space of harmony with nature and with oneself. Yet each attempt dissolved into a mirage, leaving only an imprint within our cultural memory.
Attempts to locate Eden - through exhibitions, encounters, and shifting contexts:
Eden.exe - 48 Stunden Neukölln independent art festival in Berlin
Exhibition: 03.07. - 05.07.2026, CANK, 1. floor, Kulturnetzwerk Neukölln e.V., Karl-Marx-Strasse 95, 12043 Berlin, Germany

The project took place at CANK (Kulturnetzwerk Neukölln e.V.) and was part of the official program of the 48 Stunden Neukölln festival, which since 1999 has annually brought together hundreds of artists, curators, and tens of thousands of visitors, remaining one of Germany’s leading platforms for contemporary art.

Among the distinguished guests was the Mayor of Neukölln, Martin Hikel. More than 3,000 people attended the exhibition on the opening day alone.

Through installation, painting, conceptual interventions, and post-curatorial experimentation, the exhibition transforms the search for paradise into an inquiry of future consciousness itself Learn more

Eden: Lost Coordinates - Platforms Project (Independent Art Fair Athens, Greece)
Exhibition: October 9–12, 2025, Old Tabacco Factory-Hellenic Parliament Library (218 Lenorman St. 104 43, Athens), Greece

During the exhibition, hundreds of guests and art lovers visited the JS Gallery booth, including the Minister of Culture of Greece, the Speaker of the Greek Parliament, and the Head of the Parliament’s Press Office.

The artists of Eden: Lost Coordinates investigate the mechanisms through which our society repeatedly resurrects this myth, whether within social structures or as a reflection of individual paths.

They do not invite us to search for paradise. Instead, the project reveals that the Odyssey is already being written in every choice we make and in every trace we leave upon the earth Learn more
