Stephanie ComilangSearch for Life
Sep 11 – Oct 31, 2026 Schöneberg
A video installation that follows the pearl, from Sama-Bajau free divers in the Philippines to Chinese pearl farms and a Dubai K-pop group.
The show centers on Search for Life II (2025), a film commissioned by TBA21, Sharjah Art Foundation and The Vega Foundation and narrated in Tagalog by a pearl. It is projected onto the back wall through a four-meter curtain of artificial pearls, so the light casts the gallery as if under water.
Three film stills remade in colored pearlescent beads hang nearby, and a screen at the far end loops social-media clips of pearls pried from oysters. Comilang, born in Toronto in 1980, lives between Toronto and Berlin.
