For the past ten years he has been working mainly outdoors, on a new relationship between body and landscape. Adam collaborates with dancers and performers, they move and speak in/with the environment. In his choreographed live performances he focuses on encounters: Between the Earth and the moving/speaking body, between performers and audience, the landscape becomes a common ground that connects participants and attenders. In his videos he shows dancers interacting with remote hybrid techno-natural landscapes: e.g. a coal mining area, a power plant high up in the mountains near a melting glacier, a garden inside the crater of a volcano. In his texts, spoken live or in videos, sometimes projected or printed, Adam offers a sensitive description of the world, his words literally touch what surround us. Adam’s work is strongly multi-disciplinary. In all the media used he aima to re-connect inside and outside, investigating our contemporary geo-existence as human bodies on Earth. Adam studied literary studies at the universities of Vienna, Paris III and St. Petersburg. He graduated in 2006 with a thesis on the difference between art and philosophy and holds an MA in philosophy. Adam was part of the InterArt graduate school at Freie Universität Berlin, being awarded by a PhD scholarship from 2009-2012. Adam Man regularly receives grants and fundings by the Berlin Senat, the Hauptstadtkulturfonds (HKF), the national performance network (npn), the Fonds Darstellende Künste and the Dachverband Tanz. His work is shown in Berlin (Tanzfabrik, Sophiensaele, HAUNT Front Views, Tanznacht Berlin Festival), Vienna (wuk performing arts, imagetanz Festival, Tanzquartier Wien), Klagenfurt (Kunstraum Lakeside). In collaboration with the visual artist and choreographer Moritz Majce, from 2015-2019&nbsp; over the course of several project cycles, they created Space Choreography, a multi-disciplinary genre, cross-fading performance and installation art. Together with the artists Clément Layes and Moritz Majce, Adam is the artistic director of Flutgraben Performances, the largest and most continuous artist run performance series in Berlin and Flutgraben Performances Residencies. During the first German lockdown in spring 2020, Adam founded the text platform Stream. Live Art Writing, which went online on the Tanzfabrik Berlin website in September 2020. An open collective of currently 12 authors publishes on Stream about performance, dance, choreography. Together with Felicitas Zeeden, dramaturge of Tanzfabrik Berlin, Adam created Facing Nature, a series of public structured encounters with numerous artists (Jefta van Dinther, Liz Rosenfeld, Jared Gradinger, Luiza Prado a.o.) exchanging on nature in live art.

They got to know the surroundings and recorded them—through their senses, and on video and audio. From their relationship with the forest they slowly built a space made of sounds, images, language, movement, and objects. Reforest premiered in December 2025 at brut nordwest&nbsp;in Vienna. brut nordwest is an industrial hall with a large black box in the middle. Around it there is a lot of space. In this surrounding area Reforest begins: a floor installation of objects and video in the entrance zone, a setting for a reading at the level of the entrance into the black box.The piece starts with a prelude in the reading area: Furu plays at the table placed there with small plastic animals. When after a few minutes he stands up and walks away, Adam takes his place and reads from the journal he kept throughout the year. Beside him a photograph is projected onto the wall; it shows the forest.The excerpts from the journal tell of the forest and the trio’s relationship to it. The text ends in a way that provokes the transition from the anteroom of the reading into the Reforest space inside the black box. People go in. <img width="1417" height="2126" width_o="1417" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03a7af6920f67ac653adfb47f0bd8398ba4189d9f4dd7e8ba4ac1c6f0f172f4a/BRUT_Reforest_ChristineMiess_WEB_008.jpg" data-mid="243964535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03a7af6920f67ac653adfb47f0bd8398ba4189d9f4dd7e8ba4ac1c6f0f172f4a/BRUT_Reforest_ChristineMiess_WEB_008.jpg" /> <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d42f1a15f5e0804329d282642dccb9b0f0bd472982e6508a83073aea10a6ab3/BRUT_Reforest_ChristineMiess_WEB_006.jpg" data-mid="243964534" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d42f1a15f5e0804329d282642dccb9b0f0bd472982e6508a83073aea10a6ab3/BRUT_Reforest_ChristineMiess_WEB_006.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7290e215f1a81948939e9bbe0c8b6da4fe2a8a115a4285485449a1c7ce1d7ae2/IMG_3582.JPG" data-mid="243964364" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7290e215f1a81948939e9bbe0c8b6da4fe2a8a115a4285485449a1c7ce1d7ae2/IMG_3582.JPG" /> The black box is completely transformed: the unseated stands, the whole stage, and even beyond it, through an open slit in the curtain, the room behind it. On the floor there are charcoal and chalk drawings, wooden objects treated with forestry spray paint and tree foam; an installation of fluorescent tubes wrapped in tree fencing hangs from the ceiling; two large screens frame the space opposite each other at an angle; bones lie there as a fragile floor sculpture, and in the middle of them a 3D printer prints a skull that looks like the one made of bones on a black circle on a white sheet directly beside it. Another black circle hangs from the ceiling, with a pink cross on its back. Outside, behind the curtain, there is a bench and in front of it two large pieces of bark, curved and open upward. Sound comes from four channels, localizing noises, marking places—a composition by Judith that emerged from listening to the forest, as a soundtrack for the space. People move everywhere, look at the images and the objects; at the beginning, in the first few minutes, they move quickly from one place to another—most want to see everything first and stay only briefly at individual stations. Then it becomes calmer; some sit down, others remain standing, and some stroll slowly. At some point, attention shifts more and more to Furu, who moves from within the audience—at first part of it—more and more present, until he begins to dance very slowly on the stands—right down in the corner. The scene unfolds from that outermost point of the stands, with its drawings, objects, and spectators, across the entire surface and beyond it. Slowness turns into activity and interaction with the objects, up to a waltz with a broken-off trunk. <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417"

that he touches an old globe that is part of the installation. The sound of the earth’s axis trembling as it turns leads into the increasing intensity of the sound in the space, and the images on the two screens move to the center. They show an injured forest, filmed with a handheld camera that comes painfully close to the trees. At some point the audience notices Furu near the bones installed on the floor and the printer. They first see him walking slowly toward the things, looking at them, then at some point sitting down and lying down. After a long transition, an approach, Furu lies next to the animal bones&nbsp; found in the forest and next to othersreplicated with the printer. Between machine, human, and animal, between one and the other reproduction, between death and vitality and functioning, Furu begins to move. Judith joins and plays the cello. Between her sounds and Furu’s movements, a space of closeness, familiarity, and openness emerges. Dance and sound are independent, and turned toward each other. In the live performance at the end, as the conclusion and climax of the piece, the time spent together condenses. It reveals itself to the audience there, where for a certain time we all are: between the intimate play of the elements and the vastness of the space.

As part of Adam’s artistic practice, Reforest engages with the forest not as backdrop or image, but as a living, breathing site — one that moves, breaks down, regenerates, and insists on its own forms of time and presence. Together with artist and Butoh dancer Michiyasu Furutani and cellist and sound artist Judith Hamann, Adam returns multiple times over the course of one year to the same vulnerable sites within the forest — places marked by erosion, intervention, collapse, and quiet renewal. Over time, the trio works with what the forest offers: they move with and through the landscape, listen, record, and compose from the field; they film, write, collect and transform found objects. The result is not a single document or image, but an evolving live environment where bodies, materials, and atmospheres come together. <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d52960543f2091dc824ac26411114c92383d2c09f52fa5b125029b3a8fb4c0c/IMG_8728.JPG" data-mid="234856935" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d52960543f2091dc824ac26411114c92383d2c09f52fa5b125029b3a8fb4c0c/IMG_8728.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2c384794159b34647508c019c69bc3c77ad52f314e23586c1a2229bab478b7a6/IMG_8471-2.JPG" data-mid="234856938" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2c384794159b34647508c019c69bc3c77ad52f314e23586c1a2229bab478b7a6/IMG_8471-2.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abedec89d0cb04de164b28ca25e2e315c359628a44c05d82794f6a7227bb9bb3/IMG_1877.JPG" data-mid="234856934" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abedec89d0cb04de164b28ca25e2e315c359628a44c05d82794f6a7227bb9bb3/IMG_1877.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/954bfb1a9b3706737259ceecddafae1f79328d67c3af3204ca60b6c65635869a/IMG_8574-2.JPG" data-mid="234856919" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/954bfb1a9b3706737259ceecddafae1f79328d67c3af3204ca60b6c65635869a/IMG_8574-2.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f090d28553ddd91c523d2d0afdaa76fdba2785badaae24e6ee142e95b4cafdb/IMG_1948-3.JPG" data-mid="234856924" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f090d28553ddd91c523d2d0afdaa76fdba2785badaae24e6ee142e95b4cafdb/IMG_1948-3.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ffbcdd45ae1ec6a3619cc1b046aa92dff09bf05633d65488f3bfcdfd9381b2a8/IMG_8705.JPG" data-mid="234856930" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ffbcdd45ae1ec6a3619cc1b046aa92dff09bf05633d65488f3bfcdfd9381b2a8/IMG_8705.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e78e6fc850c93d539783627422144d911167fb140c10d98ca61bd492d1c82313/IMG_8827.JPG" data-mid="234856923" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e78e6fc850c93d539783627422144d911167fb140c10d98ca61bd492d1c82313/IMG_8827.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f7faa90a042c12dc10cb15549ba7add1c3de18a36e074d804df294029730008/Reforest-clearing-June.jpg" data-mid="235772579" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f7faa90a042c12dc10cb15549ba7add1c3de18a36e074d804df294029730008/Reforest-clearing-June.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d36b2a8400ac8df948ecf6fbfebf518c47ffc6c638420067635618e734c00e6b/Steilhang-von-unten.jpg" data-mid="235772581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d36b2a8400ac8df948ecf6fbfebf518c47ffc6c638420067635618e734c00e6b/Steilhang-von-unten.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/812b2d7bb66aab2bfd0b55adabde0f07d42ae4cb101d0ade9ffa63f26ee8c98c/Doppelbild-Steilhang-2.jpg" data-mid="235772628" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/812b2d7bb66aab2bfd0b55adabde0f07d42ae4cb101d0ade9ffa63f26ee8c98c/Doppelbild-Steilhang-2.jpg" /> The project title, Reforest, signals a posture, a desire to foreground the regenerative, the more-than-human, the insistence of life even under threat. At its core, Reforest is about forming a relationship — not only with a place, but with its patterns, rhythms, wounds, and potential. It reflects on how we live with landscape, and how that mirrors the way we live with each other. The forest is both individual and collective: this tree, this rock, this beetle — and also a vast ecosystem of entanglement, regulation, and wildness. It is both natural space and economic resource, both spontaneous and managed. This tension is not unlike the one we inhabit as humans. Reforest takes time seriously: by returning to the same sites, the project builds intimacy. The lush density of June gives way to the bare branches of November. Plants spread, collapse, grow back. The landscape is experienced as process — sprouting, wilting, breaking, decomposing, reemerging. The artists respond not with control but with attentiveness. Landscape is not a picture. It is not a static frame. It is motion, duration, change. <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edd26e91503590e83e5488993eedfe0f59044f295a213bdb526dccfda0bdc092/IMG_2033-2.JPG" data-mid="234856902" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edd26e91503590e83e5488993eedfe0f59044f295a213bdb526dccfda0bdc092/IMG_2033-2.JPG" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88dce05f58ef8e5ee2cca953586b3fddeadd1843350974a9aac177d3a1581e11/IMG_8765.JPG" data-mid="234856912" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88dce05f58ef8e5ee2cca953586b3fddeadd1843350974a9aac177d3a1581e11/IMG_8765.JPG" /> <img width="606" height="341" width_o="606" height_o="341" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/060db8a164dee0e90add1abaeb63f92d7dd9763a299a36ed3e56a583adc33237/bug.jpg" data-mid="234856896" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/606/i/060db8a164dee0e90add1abaeb63f92d7dd9763a299a36ed3e56a583adc33237/bug.jpg" /> Reforest resists quick capture. Instead, it insists on slowness, repetition, and presence. The work does not place the human performer at the center, but the landscape itself — its movements, its vulnerability, its temporalities. Through video, movement, sound, and poetry, Reforest makes room for audiences to sense themselves as part of a world in flux. Reforest is a response to a darkening ecological and political moment. It is a practice of radical gentleness, a call to feel, and a gesture toward a livable future.

For over a decade, he has developed works across landscapes, galleries, theatres, and public space — with groups, solo performers, and his own body. Adam creates environments: choreographies of presence, movement, sound, and text that invite audiences into a state of sensing. He sees site not as backdrop but as partner — fragile, layered, active. His work engages through attention: to vulnerability, to transformation, to what it means to inhabit a place with care. Adam is looking for forms of being-together that are soft, attuned, and open. He works between performance and installation, body and concept, sensation and language, time and space, participation and reception, creating pieces that ask not only what we see, but how we are present.

Presented at Galerie Wedding in Berlin, the exhibition brings together video works rooted in performance, alongside poetry, text-based pieces, and a dynamic programme of performances, workshops, and live interventions. The exhibition draws from Adam’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between the human body and landscape. In their video and performance works, the artist and invited collaborators engage with remote, hybrid techno-natural sites – from a mountainous hydroelectric power station in Austria, to a dried-out forest in the deserts of southern Spain, to a ship graveyard in a former harbor of Copenhagen. These environments become stages for physical and poetic inquiry, where boundaries between body and landscape, visual and performative practice, begin to dissolve. <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b900985eba25422f59fe7712fb0992fb730d44225a676a35eaf7d2d824ddfea/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-13-at-13.07.53.jpeg" data-mid="235664459" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b900985eba25422f59fe7712fb0992fb730d44225a676a35eaf7d2d824ddfea/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-13-at-13.07.53.jpeg" /> <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc0458a87231f310a58afc104939c8172f914080d5c97cf5c09d98a5630eacd4/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_37.jpg" data-mid="235664462" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc0458a87231f310a58afc104939c8172f914080d5c97cf5c09d98a5630eacd4/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_37.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e4dcbe32f5983ac62732f6c993692aca843174568e85df0bf6666407708ea93/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_104.jpg" data-mid="235664460" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e4dcbe32f5983ac62732f6c993692aca843174568e85df0bf6666407708ea93/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_104.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/210473cba88ca917afce2fa6d6d815c46bebb2ddcaae9196abaaef4ee96b29b2/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_21.jpg" data-mid="235664461" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/210473cba88ca917afce2fa6d6d815c46bebb2ddcaae9196abaaef4ee96b29b2/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_21.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43dc68937b2fb4e6d5e2440d8433aadfbac6d11dc821466664ea5b62828b97f1/IMG_1427.jpg" data-mid="235664487" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43dc68937b2fb4e6d5e2440d8433aadfbac6d11dc821466664ea5b62828b97f1/IMG_1427.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45401a17ba8a0ec9264db10cd425ae51db7b84d181ca2c8dc76914dac65585ad/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_160.jpg" data-mid="235664465" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45401a17ba8a0ec9264db10cd425ae51db7b84d181ca2c8dc76914dac65585ad/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_160.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c96d5759869dc0a1292b2264cf8171899df2fa60405059fc3a83686cdc7e2a0/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_33.jpg" data-mid="235664454" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c96d5759869dc0a1292b2264cf8171899df2fa60405059fc3a83686cdc7e2a0/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_33.jpg" /> A central focus of Adam’s practice is the deconstruction of binary perspectives – whether in terms of gender, language, or the divisions we draw between nature and technology, presence and absence, self and other. As a queer artist, Adam reclaims the unstable in-between as a space of agency, tenderness, and resistance. For this exhibition, Adam also turns their attention to the urban landscape surrounding Galerie Wedding. Over 28 days, they carried out a continuous durational performance titled Wo alle sind (Where Everyone Is), in which they wrote a daily journal onsite dedicated to the Rathausvorplatz, the square in front of the gallery. This act of presence – poetic, observational, and embodied – unfolded slowly over time and became an integral part of the exhibition itself. The performance culminated in a public reading, engaging with and responding to the very place that had shaped the writing – blurring the line between observation, experience, and shared space. The collected texts from the performance were later published as a book, designed by Cristina Talpa.&nbsp;In parallel, Paradise, one of the central video works in the show, was presented as a live concert. Musician and sound artist Judith Hamann, who composed the film’s original soundtrack, performed a live cello set in response to the installation – adding another layer of temporal and sensory resonance to the work. <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6ae8f1fa76ac40b2ffeafdf32ab7143261b0788a4248b871e0133c87b187c2c/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_176.jpg" data-mid="235664469" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6ae8f1fa76ac40b2ffeafdf32ab7143261b0788a4248b871e0133c87b187c2c/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_176.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/908dba078080e4e9f246d379d2afc8656280105e7774041144468f6fab6cb5ae/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_12.jpg" data-mid="235664489" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/908dba078080e4e9f246d379d2afc8656280105e7774041144468f6fab6cb5ae/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_12.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e0191a7ee9f8c46a55d9940510dfca4e8319646fc5d682a596e7cbd9e1a256f/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_15.jpg" data-mid="235664490" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e0191a7ee9f8c46a55d9940510dfca4e8319646fc5d682a596e7cbd9e1a256f/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_15.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/048902ca5145d98885e7a2134d1a602baf96c6704fd961e304937efb5b7339e5/Judith-Paradise-live.jpg" data-mid="235772631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/048902ca5145d98885e7a2134d1a602baf96c6704fd961e304937efb5b7339e5/Judith-Paradise-live.jpg" /> Galerie Wedding Künstlerische Leitung (Interim): Malte Pieper &amp; Maj Smoszna Produktionsleitung: Solvejg Hockings Kuratorische Assistenz und Kommunikation: Lina Kröger, Philipp Hennch https://adamman.com/Paradise-Space-Poem Tue, 24 Jun 2025 06:15:08 +0000 Adam Man https://adamman.com/Paradise-Space-Poem <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2add3848275e8cb2b3618b57aa666a71380a85d496df4611704574ec1003ddeb/Still-Paradise-B_1.1.1.jpg" data-mid="234951137" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2add3848275e8cb2b3618b57aa666a71380a85d496df4611704574ec1003ddeb/Still-Paradise-B_1.1.1.jpg" /> Paradise2 Channel Video | 26min | 2025 In Paradise Adam films himself in 2 channels showing his body as well as the same site in very different perspectives. The video cross-fades hyper-personal biographical events such as Adam’s transition with hyper-mythological topics such as the Garden Eden as well as with natural disasters such as drought and wild fire. Paradise deals with binarities: live and death, verticality and horizontality, movement and stillness, activity and passivity, gender; shot in one take, it is at the same time the documentation of a performance and an action staged for the camera. Paradise is installed as a two channel video projection. <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44f775ed6a8ed94fcc6b1d18a88e9b3a8ba0277cafc4e8cbc94d33f35d21eb9d/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_178.jpg" data-mid="234951161" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44f775ed6a8ed94fcc6b1d18a88e9b3a8ba0277cafc4e8cbc94d33f35d21eb9d/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_178.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/35eba14d138adfe9cb3979f3cc0bf943aab3a8e5ec29d50111484ed0ca76908e/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_15.jpg" data-mid="234951164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/35eba14d138adfe9cb3979f3cc0bf943aab3a8e5ec29d50111484ed0ca76908e/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_15.jpg" /> <img width="1887" height="1061" width_o="1887" height_o="1061" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1be9b4c5d61bea8af16b40cd8240c585a4a33ff0476ac93131beaadf3bc7d3c9/Judith-Paradise-live-2.jpg" data-mid="234951141" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1be9b4c5d61bea8af16b40cd8240c585a4a33ff0476ac93131beaadf3bc7d3c9/Judith-Paradise-live-2.jpg" /> As part of Adam’s solo exhibition Elsewhere I Am You (2025) at Galerie Wedding in Berlin, Paradise was presented as a live concert.

Over the course of four weeks, the artist came to the gallery every day at 3 p.m., sitting for one hour to observe and describe what unfolded around him — the movements, stillness, and everyday rhythms of the public square just outside the gallery’s windows. Much like in Adam’s previous work with remote, hybrid landscapes, this performance engaged deeply with a specific place — only here, the site was not distant nature, but the urban setting of Berlin-Wedding: street and square, passing and gathering, people and animals, vehicles and trees, the job center beside the library, apartment buildings, shops, cafés, and the sky above. A place where everyone is. <img width="4284" height="4284" width_o="4284" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2cdbda4a3618601645ae39b515882aefab16f37271b2ec8c3eae6938be6286e/schatten-baum-haus.jpg" data-mid="235663781" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2cdbda4a3618601645ae39b515882aefab16f37271b2ec8c3eae6938be6286e/schatten-baum-haus.jpg" /> <img width="4188" height="4188" width_o="4188" height_o="4188" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c13f4c2b461ec0736e77a79e60bec491cd838058357363fb0dd5579b605bb483/was_day29.jpg" data-mid="235663819" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c13f4c2b461ec0736e77a79e60bec491cd838058357363fb0dd5579b605bb483/was_day29.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="3024" width_o="3024" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/035fb327322d5eb6783a73b39d2ecbf0e28199d2392f82295d3222fd4293119a/muelleimer-baum.jpg" data-mid="235663789" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/035fb327322d5eb6783a73b39d2ecbf0e28199d2392f82295d3222fd4293119a/muelleimer-baum.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="3024" width_o="3024" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66f57cc56ef0f721d8c8a5645684952f07d2f45d6b9679bab064f1101b7912f0/Plastik-Mensch-Gerat.jpg" data-mid="235663780" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66f57cc56ef0f721d8c8a5645684952f07d2f45d6b9679bab064f1101b7912f0/Plastik-Mensch-Gerat.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="3024" width_o="3024" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/806a24bdee965f14dffce278fe542a920418b6f1f380581d07297aea0414abfd/gerat-mensch.jpg" data-mid="235663776" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/806a24bdee965f14dffce278fe542a920418b6f1f380581d07297aea0414abfd/gerat-mensch.jpg" /> Each day, Adam wrote what he saw and felt — a slow, attentive act of presence, description, and listening. Visitors were invited to join: to sit beside him, to look out together, to read the journal entries from previous days. Silence was as welcome as conversation. What changes when we watch the everyday for longer? When we try to describe it — not to explain, but to stay close? The texts written during the performance remained in the exhibition space, growing day by day into an archive of attention. Photographs of the square accompanied the process. At the end of the four weeks, the performance culminated in a live reading held outside on the square — returning the language to the site that shaped it. <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d782aeecd7854c705829b4c9769e623c9fcd2611c73bd128376fa8749dbec7fb/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_76.jpg" data-mid="235663810" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d782aeecd7854c705829b4c9769e623c9fcd2611c73bd128376fa8749dbec7fb/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_76.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a66f3ae52882a04d95376c804339fb61ee372c6a6ac5ddac84a5b2f98699dd30/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_112.jpg" data-mid="235663777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a66f3ae52882a04d95376c804339fb61ee372c6a6ac5ddac84a5b2f98699dd30/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_112.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="4430" width_o="2953" height_o="4430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75ba6e412bad288ccc3dc8960d6bccfecd29f11d3c221da78d82cdd4ff2f977f/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_68.jpg" data-mid="235663795" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75ba6e412bad288ccc3dc8960d6bccfecd29f11d3c221da78d82cdd4ff2f977f/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_68.jpg" /> <img width="4430" height="2953" width_o="4430" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/25c066a127b2bd22f7aff7b3284cdf4f83e8a2c396f8ef428639496f9d856cfb/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_59.jpg" data-mid="235663803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/25c066a127b2bd22f7aff7b3284cdf4f83e8a2c396f8ef428639496f9d856cfb/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_59.jpg" /> <img width="1438" height="1514" width_o="1438" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5cd53ced43cef32c2d49802a42adf222470d5669c7915cc75eef7c43f339a879/Was_Buch.png" data-mid="235663809" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5cd53ced43cef32c2d49802a42adf222470d5669c7915cc75eef7c43f339a879/Was_Buch.png" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad68af5065c8f20bea9cdaebda57ed292132b97379453d3d3a37ed840b99bb34/IMG_0507.JPG" data-mid="235663816" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad68af5065c8f20bea9cdaebda57ed292132b97379453d3d3a37ed840b99bb34/IMG_0507.JPG" /> <img width="4284" height="5712" width_o="4284" height_o="5712" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cba513874db10416bc4630010888dfa30cfe85b04ed5d6599deacea7e1326ed/IMG_9653.JPG" data-mid="235663806" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cba513874db10416bc4630010888dfa30cfe85b04ed5d6599deacea7e1326ed/IMG_9653.JPG" /> <img width="3087" height="2384" width_o="3087" height_o="2384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a2dd67614f702a295cf3313766cf51f82e6689d3d501267c11c7d2989e8a6715/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_94.jpg" data-mid="235745709" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a2dd67614f702a295cf3313766cf51f82e6689d3d501267c11c7d2989e8a6715/GW_2025_Elsewhere-I-Am-You_AdamMan_94.jpg" /> Now is never only mine. It is a feeling between inside and outside, between you and me. We are here, now. Now is an opening, a wound or a hole, a pore, a mouth, the pupil of an eye. Now is the body, open to touch and desire, curious, shy, vulnerable. I look for this place in the landscape, in nature, in the city, in language.It’s always ahead of me and all around me, behind me, at my sides, beneath me, above me.Stones, air, trees, voices, words, sentences, this book. I use a sketchbook and write by hand.It feels almost like dictation.As I write,I listen to what I see.
