Galerie GLASKASTEN

Luzia Rux extends the drawing into the space and creates installative situations in which movement, line and structure can be experienced as space and become visible as thought processes. Her works build bridges between two-dimensionality and sculpture, reflecting body and space in a subtle way.

The works of Raisan Hameed (*1991, Mosul) combine personal memories with traces of collective history. Damaged photographs, digital fragments and archival material are used to create quiet, multi-layered narratives about loss, migration and the survival of the past. Hameed investigates how destruction and memory inscribe themselves into images and how new forms of visibility can emerge from these traces . His works move between documentation and poetry, between closeness and distance, and open up a space in which the invisible can be experienced. The exhibition After Image examines what remains of the image when its surface is destroyed, erased or altered. What comes after the image? And how do memories materialise?

Raisan Hameed is an Iraqi-German multimedia artist who lives and works in Leipzig. His works often deal thematically with personal experiences of war, migration and memory. Born in Mosul, Iraq, in 1991, he studied painting at the University of Mosul and worked as a press photographer. Since 2016, he has continued his art studies at the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) in Leipzig. After graduating as a master student in 2025, he is also an art lecturer at the HGB. Hameed uses various media such as photography, film and installations to transform personal memories into universal narratives. In his work, he explores how historical and geopolitical events shape individual and collective memories.
