Silent Traces / Stille Spuren: 10 - 13 Sep

Duo-Exhibition with Anke Buchmann and Yev Kazannik

Exhibition: 10 - 13 Sep 2025, 11am - 5pm, 15-27 Sep - by appointment Location: HANDFUL, Sredzkistr. 46, 10435 Berlin, Germany 

During Berlin Art Week 2025 the collaborative exhibition “Silent Traces” shows ceramic sculptures by Anke Buchmann in combination with analogue printing by Yev Kazannik. Traces of process, light, memories and emotions are transported as themes into abstract photography and the tactile realm, offering an authentic experience that deepens the viewers' engagement with the moment, time and impermanence.  

by Anke Buchmann 

In Silent Traces, Anke Buchmann explores how moments, gestures, and emotions inscribe themselves into form. Her works trace the invisible: the rhythm of breath captured in clay, the delicate balance of perfection and flaw revealed in geometric vessels, and the fleeting shades of feeling embedded in tiny ceramic paintings. Each series becomes a quiet record of presence, where time and experience leave their subtle imprints. Together, they invite viewers to sense what usually remains unseen, yet silently endures.

by Yev Kazannik  

The analogue photographic prints by Yev Kazannik bring together fragments of memory and transforming them into poetic, unconventional artworks that reveal hidden patterns of the past.“Ultimately, my series of lumen prints is about exploring the boundaries of photography and pushing the limits of what's possible with this medium."

About the artists 

Anke Buchmann (*1978 in Rostock, Germany) lives and works in Berlin. In 2017 Buchmann received a first class honours degree in Ceramics from Central Saint Martins, London. Her work has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions across Europe, including the British Ceramic Biennial, Pangolin London, Ceramic Art London, London Design Festival, Central Saint Martins, Lethaby Gallery, Art Bermondsey Project Space, Sugarhouse Studios, The Hub at Wellcome Collection London and Domaine de Boisbuchet, France. Anke was the winner of the NextGen Design Award (2016) and the Good Design Awards (2017). She is a Fellow of Domaine de Boisbuchet and since 2020 the founder of HANDFUL, a mindful ceramic studio and exhibition space for people with a desire to feel more alive. 

Yev Kazannik  (*1978 in Kaliningrad, Russia) lives and works in Berlin and London. Kazannik is a visual artist with a focus on analogue printing techniques and synthesised sound. After studying photography at the London College of Communication (University of the Arts London), he spent over fifteen years as a commercial photographer, contributing to publications such as The Guardian, Financial Times, Wire, NME, Wax Poetics, Shook and XLR8R.  He moved away from working with traditional camera techniques in 2019 and started developing a new analogue process instrumenting Photogram, Lumen Printing and Chemigrams among others. Yev’s work, which often investigates themes of time, light, human mind and perception, invites viewers to engage with the subtleties of visual and auditory experience. Kazannik’s work has been exhibited internationally and included in both private and museum collections.

Since 2023 HANDFUL has been exhibiting ceramics, sculpture, performance and engagement work by Anke Buchmann as well as selected artists with works in the wide field of contemporary art.
