Curated by Elisa Bonzano
Critic Text by Elisa Bonzano
Opening: September 25 – 6:00 PM at Tempesta Gallery, Milano
Tempesta Gallery is pleased to present “Through Invisible Walls”, a two-person show by Anna-Lena Krause and Viktor Petrov. The exhibition will open on September 25, 2025 at the gallery in Foro Buonaparte 68, Milan. The artists will be present.
The exhibition brings together two artistic practices that explore the visible and invisible mechanisms through which power shapes space, perception, and interpersonal relations.
In the work of Viktor Petrov (Pleven, 1991; lives and works in Berlin), infrastructures and functional objects – such as riot shields, modernist façades, and industrial surfaces – are transformed into critical devices that expose the ideological frameworks embedded in spatial production. Conceived as micro-architectures, his works interrogate construction as a political act and reveal how even the most seemingly neutral forms carry within them ideas of order and discipline.
Anna-Lena Krause (Berlin; lives and works in London) operates across sculpture, performance, and digital tools such as 3D scanning and artificial intelligence. Her practice explores the immaterial dimensions of power – memory, affection, perception – to show how they are continuously reshaped in an increasingly dematerialized age of connectivity.
The dialogue between Petrov and Krause highlights the porous boundaries between material architectures and immaterial constructs: while the former addresses the structures that define access, visibility, and movement, the latter investigates those that shape presence and relations. Together, they offer a critical perspective on space and the body as contested sites of political and cultural negotiation.
