Coco Bergholm
GLITCHES documents performative interventions by the artist Coco Bergholm. Over a period of several months, she produced printed curtains from photographed façade sections of the Berlin districts of Kreuzberg and Neukölln in order to place them exactly over the original motif.

In other words, they possess not only an external […]
