Andro Wekua (*1977) works in a range of media, including collage, painting, sculpture, installation and film. The Georgian-born, Berlin-based artist has built a personal cosmos in which he stages fragmented memories, personal and political, through assemblage-like visual strategies. The artist illuminates the dark, interstitial spaces of emotion with subtle symbolism and intuitive elegance, highlighting the ambiguities of history.

In his poem “Vereinsamt” (1884), Friedrich Nietzsche portrays a bleak winter landscape that can be read as a symbol of existential loneliness and metaphysical longing. The crows caw, the snow looms ominously, and man, feeling uprooted, remains isolated within himself. It is this Symbolist atmosphere that characterises the exhibition Songs before Sunrise at Sprüth Magers’ London gallery. The artists gathered here explore the tension between inner imagination, historical awareness, and the inescapability of our personal perspective on the world. The exhibition brings together works by Oliver Bak, Eugène Carrière, Guglielmo Castelli, Enzo Cucchi, Enrico David, Leonor Fini, Anne Imhof, Alexej von Jawlensky, Conny Maier, Rosemarie Trockel and Andro Wekua. Their works interweave past and present in a dreamlike visual language in which the boundaries between reality and imagination are dissolved.
