Born in Kautokeino in the Sámi region of Sápmi and now based in Berlin, the artist Berit Louise Sara develops a painterly practice shaped by movement between cultures, materials, and ways of seeing. Her work reflects a dynamic understanding of identity — not as something fixed, but as a continuous process of transformation.
Working across linen and cotton, Sara integrates textiles such as wool and silk alongside photographic elements, allowing materials to interact and evolve over time. Her paintings begin with fragments — memories, images, or impressions — which are layered, reworked, and partially erased. Through this process, surfaces emerge that hold both tension and openness.
While rooted in her Sámi heritage, Sara’s work does not seek to directly represent cultural symbols. Instead, it carries traces of history through its material language: through layering, weaving, and the physical resistance of the medium. The paintings become spaces where presence and absence, control and chance, exist simultaneously. Each work functions as a threshold — between memory and forgetting, surface and depth – inviting viewers into a perceptual experience rather than a fixed narrative. Sara’s practice centers on process, materiality, and the subtle dialogue between gesture, time, and transformation.
The exhibition is initiated, curated, and produced by Wodkasoda Studio (Giancarlo Genovese and Laura Leo).
