THE MOMENT & Mouches Volantes present

The semi-nomadic Berlin project space THE MOMENT (Therapy Room), initiated by artist Olga Cerkasova, invites the Cologne exhibition space MOUCHES VOLANTES - directed by Ihsan Alisan - to a first joint duo exhibition parallel to Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025.

Selin Davass

CONSEQUENCES OF SALIVATING is a performance that hungers, crawls and slobbers - like a domesticated silkworm. In a dense web of animality, language and capital, Selin Davasse stages the tragic silkworm not only as a narrator, but as the literary form itself - as an embodied genre. In doing so, she chews up the universal, deeply unjust condition of being excluded from the fruits of one's labour. 

Intended as an indirect critique of the structures of the art world, the performance also functions as a foretaste of Davasse's upcoming solo exhibition at Mouches Volantes in summer 2025, curated by Linnéa Bake and Eva Hess.

Hide and Seek, video installation, 2024

The film follows a group of women confronted with geopolitical displacement as they share stories and dreams. Hovering between nostalgia and a vision of the future, it connects past and future through narratives and rituals. In doing so, the film focuses on community, creative resistance and the power of dreams, love and imagination - as forces shaping a sustainable future.

The Last Commune, interactive installation, since 2025

Based on somatic exercises, role play and collective storytelling, the participants developed shared visions of queer and feminist futures. The map shows multi-layered imaginations of alternative systems for care, government, economy and community life. As an ongoing, open process, the installation invites public participation.
