Lot Essay

Over the span of three years, Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff operated TV Bar in Berlin, utilizing the space as a set to film an episodic series titled "Paradise," set in 2023. TV Bar was conceived with dual purposes: one as a fictional setting for their series and the other as a public establishment, both sharing the same infrastructure. As a result, the narrative of "Paradise" inevitably intertwined with the real-time events unfolding within the bar, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. It had always been their intention to close in or near 2023 when the chosen future became the present.

Henkel & Pitegoff will be featured in Kunstverein's 2025 program.
