Branching phase — Andrey Berger

Branching phase, Set Projects Gallery, Moscow, Russia, 2024

Andrey Berger's project explores the intermittent nature of evolution, drawing parallels between biological and historical upheavals where collapses lead to sudden, unpredictable transformations. While humanity often rationalizes past disasters, it struggles to foresee future shifts. Unlike typical artistic research, Berger’s approach avoids scientific explanations—his graphic works depict enigmatic biological processes, resembling artifacts from a post-catastrophe lab, leaving interpretation open and emphasizing the mystery of evolutionary and historical change.
