»Third Surface functions as a hybrid exhibition embedded within Berlin Atonal 25. Its format draws on the spirit of late-night venues from Weimar Berlin—spaces where the trauma of war and the shadow of fascism collided with the desire to gather, speak, and stay awake. A shifting programme of performance, sound, moving image, textiles, sculpture and works on paper unfolds within this setting. The works act less as statements than as prompts—subtle cues directing the murmur of voices and the tone of exchange. Third Surface operates as a speculative model: a controlled experiment in how nightlife might be reimagined, namely, beyond Eurocentric templates, outside the logic of hedonism, apart from the language of retreat.« (Text: Mousse Magazine)
»For Third Surface, Bulling turns to Pasolini’s „Le ceneri di Gramsci“ to examine the textures of a time „which is now dawning.” Their new work filters this poetic sediment through the emotional language of pressure: if you keep on pressing where does it go? How do you think of sex, friendship and the future when death leaks out over everything.« (Text: Adriano Rosselli)
