Marie Jeschke: Über unter Wasser

Exhibition opening with artist talk: 24 January 2026, 2 p.m.

With Über unter Wasser (Above under Water), the Caspar David Friedrich Centre presents a solo exhibition by multimedia artist Marie Jeschke, whose work is created in close collaboration with her natural environment – mostly in, under and together with water. From an ecological and posthumanist perspective, Jeschke develops an artistic practice based on a relational working process in which water is not an object but a co-creative agent.

The exhibition brings together drawings on recycled wet wipes – excerpts from Jeschke's “Sewage Journal”, underwater paintings, a video work and the installation “Kieshofer Moor, always”. These works bear witness in a variety of ways to traces, movements and transformations in water and reveal what can be seen in the transition between surface and bottom. At the Caspar David Friedrich Centre, Jeschke touches on the fine line between the visible and the invisible. She moves along this narrow boundary – and opens up a space in which perception, material and environment are inextricably intertwined.

We are delighted to invite you to the exhibition opening as well as to a conversation between artist Marie Jeschke and Susanne Burmester. Susanne Burmester is a curator, mediator and author who has previously curated Marie Jeschke's work in earlier exhibitions.

Marie Jeschke

Marie Jeschke, born in 1982 in Rostock, is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist. Her work centers on challenging the concept of mono-authorship, rejecting the idea of solitary creation in favor of integrative co-creation. By inviting collaboration and incorporating diverse perspectives, Jeschke's artworks and those of her collectives transform into shared narratives.

A key focus of her artistic research is the exploration of memory—both its capacity and the independent recall of organic, bodily, and anonymous materials. Jeschke pushes the boundaries of conventional artistic techniques, delving into performative painting and traversing new creative frontiers. Beyond traditional canvases, she develops performative and participatory projects, fostering intimate engagements between art, human audiences, and their natural surroundings. Currently, she works with, under, and alongside local bodies of water in Berlin and its surrounding areas.
