BREAK THE CHARM

BREAK THE CHARM
2025

An exhibition about touch, care, and transformation
Kaskadenkondensator, Basel, CH

In the participatory exhibition Break the Charm, the audience is expressly invited to interact with the works. Touching, altering, co-creating—what is usually prohibited in traditional exhibitions becomes the guiding principle here.

Artists Selina Baumann and Anja Braun (Basel), in collaboration with the collective Diese Frau (Berlin), are developing an installation space that is in a state of constant flux. A wide variety of materials, performative elements, and sensitive objects create an environment in which art and everyday life intertwine.

Break the Charm challenges familiar roles, hierarchies, and boundaries—between artwork and audience, technology and emotion, care and exhaustion.
