Der Sturm stages the theatrical and enigmatic tale of an avant-garde painter in 1920s Berlin, caught in a love triangle with two women.

For the first time in his career, Paolo Ventura creates an entire story completely in black and white, evoking the atmosphere of vintage cinema from the Weimar Republic. The works come to life through the artist’s unique method: meticulously crafted miniature sets and handmade marionettes, which are photographed and then enhanced with touches of paint. A unique microcosm where photographic fiction meets the materiality of sculpture and drawing.
