The Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) is spread across numerous locations throughout the city. For many students, everyday academic life consists of constantly moving between these sites – connected by streets, paths and public transport. It is precisely these transitions that we seek to make visible and audible in our work.

The project explores Berlin as an additional site of the UdK Berlin – a learning space that unfolds not within classrooms, but along the routes between them. The city shapes, educates, influences and accompanies us on a daily basis. These everyday in-between spaces are places of learning, perception, movement and encounter. Our aim is to make these inconspicuous yet formative learning spaces audiovisually tangible.

Marietta Krampitz works primarily in the field of abstract painting, characterised by an intensive engagement with perceived stimuli and the surrounding environment. In addition to painting, she has been exploring various printmaking techniques since the beginning of her studies. Within her artistic process, she investigates her environment in all its material qualities through sketches, photographs and printing methods. Surfaces, structures and characteristics of a wide range of objects are analysed and abstracted, while emotional responses are translated onto paper. This results in a dialogue between the subject and the environment. The aim is to heighten sensory perception through a constant exchange between personal impressions and external influences.

Julia Linden is a photographer and has been a student at the Berlin University of the Arts since 2021, studying in the class of Kempkes and previously Cumins. Her photographic work moves between digital precision and analogue experimentation. At the centre of her practice is the human body – not only as an object, but also as an expression, a question, or ideally as a subject. Each photograph becomes a dialogue between visibility and intimacy. In recent years, Julia has also been working with the medium of moving image. These works are less directly body-related, yet remain equally intimate.

Roxana Öztoprak works at the intersection of drawing and textile processes. Her practice often begins with materials from her immediate surroundings – wool, household textiles and everyday objects – which are recontextualised as carriers of female-coded labour and cultural memory. Having grown up between different cultures, her work reflects on questions of visibility, translation and belonging. Her visual repertoire is shaped by carpets, fabrics and ornaments, which she consciously translates into a contemporary context. Through reduction, limited colour palettes and precise compositions, she opens up spaces for narrative and material exploration.
