Disturbing Beauty stages four monumental black-and-white portraits by Sven Marquardt at Haus der Visionare in Berlin, presented alongside towering video installations that reshape the space. Projections animate the portraits and escalate a charged atmosphere of tension, allure, and stark contrasts between beauty and disquiet. Live piano accompaniment deepens the interplay between sound and image, while collaborators Tilius Sodeka and Tavy Hornbrook contribute motion, sound design, and visual art layers. The event condenses Marquardt’s 25-year engagement with Berlin nightlife and portraiture into a one-night immersive experience that emphasizes feeling as much as visual form.
