„Trois Français à Berlin qui font de l’art avec ce que les autres jettent ? Excuse my French — that’s remarkable.“
— Grégoire
RIEN DE PERDU
Group show at Kaffeemitte Berlin
September to November 2026
Three French artists, all three living and working in Berlin. What connects their work is a tradition that has been part of modern art for more than a century: the objet trouvé.
The idea: using found objects as a starting point for art. Marcel Duchamp declared a bicycle wheel and a urinal to be art. The Surrealists around André Breton gave the idea its name. Later, Jacques Villeglé tore posters off the walls of Paris and hung them in galleries. The principle is simple — and in times of upcycling and the urgent need to protect our resources, more timely than ever: the material exists as something found — and the artist gives it a new purpose.
✦ Lucille Guder — „Feelings“
Lucille uses gift wrapping paper with floral motifs, a recurring element in her work, combined with dried flowers from France. For Kaffeemitte, she transforms part of the space into a large-scale installation.
✦ Seboh Creation — „Freedom“, „Mirror“, „To Trust in Life“
Small, precise, colourful drawings with roots in graffiti by street artist Seboh. For his current series, he paints on old cardboard, allowing the traces and imperfections of the material to become part of the work.
✦ Jean Peut-être — „Rien de Perdu“, „Le Fruit de la Patience“, „Grain d’Amour“
Jean collects old forms, papers and documents and prints his words and phrases onto them — often giving old GDR documents a new life. His works can also be found in the streets of Berlin. We’re showing a selection at Kaffeemitte.
