In September 2022, ChertLüdde will present the first solo exhibition of Filipina-Canadian artist Stephanie Comilang within the gallery context.

About

The exhibition begins by looking at the community of Thai women present in the German capital and their custom of gathering in Preußenpark, a meeting point but also a source of commerce. Colloquially called Thai Park, the grounds shift into a Sunday market during the warmer months of April to October, offering the possibilities of economic independence to its vendors. 

Comilang’s video installation details the historical-political forces and the ethnic community behind Berlin’s Thai Park through a video installation accompanied by a new series of 3D printed sculptures. With interviews shot in both Berlin and Thailand, the film zooms in on the travels the women have taken, as well as the ritualistic practices brought with them in their relocation. In doing so, the park also becomes a vehicle for broader documentation of the migration of East Asian women throughout the Western world.
