We are pleased to present the second solo exhibition by Dörte Eißfeldt within a short period of time. This time, the focus is on her series Conil, which was created in 2008.

Conil arose in the water and out of the water; it conceives of water as volume, substance, body and surface. The series shows water in maximum proximity. Instead of overview, void, distance and expanse of the sea, the images are defined by an immediacy and verticality that anchor the sea ‘in snatches’ between shape and abstraction.

The opening reception will be held on Friday, 20 February 2026, 6-9 pm.

Dörte Eißfeldt has been exploring the creative and conceptual potential of photography as art since the late 1970s. In her first exhibition at Galerie Thomas Fischer she shows images of the 1980s and 1990s mostly drawn from larger series. Eißfeldt presents extracts of the visible world as we may have never considered them before: be it the human face or body or the effects of light, shadow and time on the physical conditions of things. At the same time, the materiality of different papers, textures, and printing techniques as well as the display of the prints on the wall or in a space play a decisive role.

Dörte Eißfeldt is the winner of the Prix Viviane Esders 2025.

In February 2026, C/O Berlin will present a comprehensive solo exhibition of the artist’s work, curated by Boaz Levin.

Galerie Thomas Fischer is visiting Brussels with an exhibition by Laetitia Gendre and Sebastian Stumpf. We will be in town from 17-19 October and look forward to seeing you.
