no, no flowers

Some encounters resemble reflections — deeply connected, detached from space and time.
This was the case with Alexander Wierer and Rasmus Ramö Streith, who met for the first time in Paris in the summer of 2024. It was a time when the city, captivated by the Olympic Games, became a monitored, isolated space. The July heat further paralyzed and slowed adults and children alike.
Amidst these circumstances, a friendship grew — nurtured by shared experiences and a common interest in the unnoticed.

The exhibition is a shared space of reflection on their encounter.
The title no, no flowers sounds like a subordinate clause, like an everyday impulse — no occasion for flowers. Yet within the gesture lies an echo: lasting imprints of footsteps, remnants of cakes, a ticket machine — ordinary objects that, through their constellation, become fertile ground for new narratives.
They speak of traces of paths once taken, of celebrated festivities, and of the "receipt" of an acquaintance that is more than a fleeting contact.

What connects Wierer and Streith is not only an aesthetic sensitivity to the everyday, but also a shared openness to what lies between things.
Their artistic collaboration is based on an intuitive resonance that continues to echo between their works.
