Marc Brandenburg's solo exhibition '20th Century Debris' is on view at the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin until September 14, 2026. The show features approximately 150 works, including early drawings from the 1990s, recent pieces, video, photography, and tattoo editions, all exploring spectral cityscapes and the debris of contemporary life through a process of tonal reversal and inversion.
The exhibition matters as a significant survey of Brandenburg's long-standing practice, which critically reframes modernity and urban experience. By transforming ordinary scenes into uncanny negative impressions, his work offers a haunting meditation on consumption, excess, and the psychic residue of the metropolis, solidifying his position within Berlin's cultural landscape.
