Margaux Compte-Mergier is a French artist based in Berlin. Her sculptural practice explores the unstable threshold between past and future, nature and culture. Working with stone powder, silicone, resin, and latex, she creates hybrid forms — fragmented bodies, animal and vegetal figures, and objects — that oscillate between relics and anticipations. Her work reflects on myth, metamorphosis, and the human drive to challenge and exceed its own condition. She studied literature, philosophy, and aesthetics in Paris before completing a Master’s degree at EHESS- Paris. Represented in Spain by RÍO & MEÑAKA gallery, she has undertaken residencies including 104-Paris and presented solo exhibitions in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon. 

Laura Eftychia Papachristos is a performance artist and teacher in Berlin with an interest in psychoanalysis. She is intrigued by the relation of inside and outside as one can get from one to the other without crossing the edge. In her work she explores this irritating correlation. She has studied anthropology with a focus on technology and sexuality in Berlin and Athens.

The two artists meet in the desire to transcend the art experience by animating the inanimate. Papachristos inhabits the sculptures of Compte-Mergier, creating a dialogue—two times, two expressions of experience, a breath at the heart of fossils. They have been working together since 2021.
