Installation for C/O Berlin

Christoph was invited to create the tenth Artistic Intervention at  C/O Berlin x Café Bark. He transformed the café into am immersive work of art that pays homage to early photography and the art of seeing. Christoph’s Artistic Intervention was inspired by the first known photographic still life, a heliograph by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce from 1822 that depicts a table set for dinner (the perfect Instagram mindset right from the start).

In Christoph’s updated version “Premier Plat” the set table becomes a banquet table in a
detailed copy that reinterprets the original as a large-format wall hanging – 21 meter (70 feet) long with additional 5 works on canvas. In collaboration with Veronika Aumann, professor of textile design at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart, the motif is not printed but woven in a sophisticated technique that translates the principle of making photographic images into cloth: light and dark areas are created by the concentration and rhythm of black and white threads, which is comparable with analog photographic processes and halftone printing

The tapestry will be on display at the Museum café through the fall of 2026.
