HUA WANG will return to Berlin with a new exhibition during BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND.

This time, she partners with @emanuelheim for the duo show NATURAL INVERSIONS, curated by New York–based @john.silvis.art

The opening will take place on April 30, from 3pm to 8pm, at Lottumstraße 14, and the exhibition runs until May 16, when the finissage will be held from 6 pm to 9 pm.

As Silvis writes in his curatorial statement:
“History tells us there is nothing new under the sun. Yet human nature continually presses forward, driven by innovation—new technologies, new methodologies, and the rapid automation of information. (…) By oscillating between abstraction and presence, the spiritual and the profane, the work of Wang & Heim affirms our state of flux and invites viewers to engage the ambiguity that recognizes these conditions not as obstacles, but as generative forces.”

Opening Wednesday, 13 May 2026, 7.30 pm

What stories do trees tell each other? How do termites celebrate a feast? What does the passenger pigeon say to its extinctors? In the midst of the ongoing climate crisis and across anthropocene discourses, contemporary art has been looking for new ways to tell the tales of our planet as a complex, interconnected, multiple being, where humans are just one species among many, but also to revisit historical narratives that continue to shape our worldviews. By means of speculative narration, artists conjure natural deities, rework premodern ontologies, and reactivate suppressed or forgotten ways of knowing. Digital media, in this context, becomes a tool for storytelling that exceeds linear time — interweaving past, present, and possible futures. Can we create new myths for these troubled and troubling times?

Trees and Termites, Ghosts and Goddesses | Digital Mythologies for Troubled Times brings together five video works that explore these questions through interspecies relations, speculative narratives, and forms of more-than-human storytelling. The videos showcase a carrier bag of speculative fiction, opening discussions about media arts’ capacity to create new tales in the echo chambers of our time, inviting audiences into a shared space of imagination, reflection, and communal tale-telling.
 

When we talk about alienation, what exactly are we discussing?

Genome editing and genetically modified crops are the revolutionary technologies that support 8.3 billion people on this planet—yet at the same time, they are the catalysts that drive human alienation between excess and scarcity.

This summer‘s abnormal heat comes hand in hand with unprecedented natural disasters and extreme weather in more and more regions.

The world today, from its soil to its genes, has been radically transformed from what it was a hundred years ago. In Latour’s book We Have Never Been Modern, he argues that modern society is merely a conceptual myth. If so, does the sense of security we seek within that myth still exist?

Is AI the new god?

Perhaps it‘s all just a dream.
