ARTIST SPOTLIGHT // Superfly 1.3%
3

Superfly 1.3% (b. 1977, Virginia) has been based in Berlin since 1999. With over twenty-five years of experience, his practice merges technical precision with a poetic vision, using rope, textiles, and organic materials as both medium and metaphor. Drawing from the structural and meditative traditions of macramé, his installations explore themes of suspension, trust, and release.

Working with h**p rope, antler, leather, and vivid red fabric, he creates environments where the body, or its echo, becomes part of a sculptural dialogue. His long-standing experience in roping and suspension informs a meticulous process centered on safety, consent, and care, allowing intimacy and vulnerability to emerge within a framework of trust.

For Superfly 1.3%, rope is a primal technology that becomes a language for exploring freedom, boundaries, and transcendence. His installations are not meant to restrain but to connect, inviting contemplation and meditative stillness. Deeply shaped by Berlin’s layered histories and cultural collisions, his work opens a reflective space where viewers can reconsider their relationship to control, vulnerability, and release.

ARTWORK SPOTLIGHT

‘YARA – STRENGTH IN DELICACY’ by

Yara is part of a series of hand-tufted textile works translating emotional and intuitive states into physical forms. Each piece begins with AI-generated abstract, feeling-driven images, which are then reinterpreted by hand using materials like wool, silk, cotton, and mirrors. These materials add softness, depth, and reflection, inviting a layered interaction between self-perception, space, and image. Rooted in hybrid identity, the works explore the coexistence and transformation of digital and physical realities, addressing life between cultures, languages, and systems. They symbolize porous thresholds rather than fixed borders, questioning notions of belonging and visibility. Guided by emotional logic, the pieces resist fixed narratives and embrace multiplicity. Within the Art Embassy, they act as fragments of inner territories, representing fluid identity and potential transformation, where softness becomes a political gesture of openness.
