Domesticity II: Spitzen Rauschen

09.07. – 16.08.2026

Opening: 08 July 2026, 7:00 PM
Venue: the Pforte, Danziger Straße 101/103/105, 10405 Berlin
Opening Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 4:00 – 9:00 PM

The Pforte presents Spitzen Rauschen, a site-specific installation by Victoria Sarangova. The artist explores sounds and visual phenomena of the past and the present of the Ernst-Thälmann-Park. Her collection contains images of historic and contemporary buildings, sound pieces from recently recorded voices and noises gathered in apartments and across the neighbourhood as well as from radio broadcasts of the 1980s. Sarangova transformed this site-specific material to create an installation that raises questions about the political promises of the past and anxieties of the now.

Domesticity is a three part exhibition series developed and curated by Lars Holdgate (Galerie Parterre), Zhijian Lyu (Prater Galerie) and Cara Michel (Galerie Pankow).

Victoria Sarangova

Victoria Sarangova (born in 1985 in Kalmykia, a republic in southwestern Russia) works with sound, video, text, and handcrafted embroidery. Rooted in her homeland and drawing inspiration from her family archives and personal history, she explores themes of progress, memory, and identity in her often site-specific installations. She studied Performance: Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins College in London (B.A. 2014) and completed a Master’s degree in the program Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2020. Her work has been presented at venues including the CTM Festival 2024, the Ringtheater, and Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin, as well as at Sound/Image 2023 in London. Sarangova is a co-founder of the MU collective, a group of artists from Kalmykia.
