Vorbeigehen - Schirin Moaiyeri

The exhibition “Vorbeigehen” brings together the artist’s personal perspective. Drawing on her background in photography and her deep love of observing and discovering the immediate and seemingly unspectacular things that lie before us, the motifs originate from an analog snapshot camera or a cell phone, captured whenever the artist discovers and records something while out and about. The process of selecting colors and having to make new decisions again and again while painting forces the artist to look very closely once more. 

Often, journeys serve only the purpose of getting from one place to another. But between two appointments, there are frequently small moments of slowing down and observing. As one passes by these things, they have an effect that perhaps provides more energy than one might initially think.

Schirin Moaiyeri lived in the “Vibrant City” of Berlin for several years both during and after completing her degree in photography, and has been continually seeking new artistic ways to express herself ever since.
Even though everyday life can seem quite restrictive, she hones her creative eye by being open to discovering the little treasures “IN PASSING” wherever she goes.


After training in dance, studying “Visual Communication,” and completing photography training at the Lette Verein, she lives and works in Berlin as a photographer; alongside this, she has rediscovered painting for herself. This is the second exhibition of her acrylic paintings.
