Hunt Kastner Gallery presents 'portals,' the first Czech Republic exhibition by Berlin-based Peles Duo. The exhibition features a site-specific installation exploring photography, its material transformation, and encounters with mythology and history, centered around the figure of the Goddess Cybelle.
Hunt Kastner is pleased to present 'portals,' the first presentation in the Czech Republic of Berlin-based Peles Duo, founded in 2005. Their site-specific installation at Hunt Kastner introduces the core interest of Peles Duo’s practice: photography and the copy, their material transformation, and encounters with mythology and history. Through its central character, the Goddess Cybelle, the exhibition articulates Peles Duo’s concern with a more nuanced understanding of female historical figures. Cybelle’s hybrid and shifting form allows for an unfolding of the work, interconnected with different parts of time, memory and space with multiple entry and exit points. In the new paintings and with the premiere of the film "ashes within you" (2026) – a collaboration with artist Rob Crosse – the exhibition questions hierarchy and authorship, where 'portals' enable its ongoing transformation. Peles Duo, founded by Katharina Stöver and Barbara Wolff, engages with these themes through their distinctive artistic approach.
Admission to the exhibition is free.
