March – April, 2026 – Copenhagen

In March 2026, In The Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of internationally acclaimed photographer Vee Speers. The exhibition brings together a carefully curated selection of works spanning several of her most significant series: Dystopia, Botanica, Thirteen, Transcendence (Gaia), and a work from her recent series The King’s Court.

Vee Speers is known for her meticulously constructed portraiture, images that exist somewhere between cinema and painting, reality and staged narrative. Through her distinctive visual language, she explores themes of identity, transformation, vulnerability, and inner strength.

The exhibition presents works from Dystopia, a powerful series in which youth is portrayed at a moment of tension,suspended between fragility and defiance. The figures appear theatrical yet introspective, confronting the viewer with a quiet but unmistakable presence.

In contrast, Botanica offers a more contemplative and poetic dimension. Here, botanical subjects are isolated and elevated, echoing classical still-life traditions while suggesting cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. The series introduces a subtle meditation on nature and transience within Speers’ broader exploration of transformation.

From Thirteen, Speers captures the delicate threshold between childhood and adolescence. The young subjects are portrayed with dignity and psychological depth, embodying a moment of becoming, where innocence and self-awareness coexist.

The exhibition also includes Gaia from the Transcendence series,  a work that evokes spiritual elevation and symbolic rebirth. Draped in vibrant color and surrounded by floral elements, the figure appears suspended between worlds, embodying both strength and serenity.

Finally, a striking piece from The King’s Court, her recent body of work, introduces a contemporary reinterpretation of authority and staged portraiture. Referencing historical court painting while maintaining Speers’ signature theatrical aesthetic, the work reflects on power, presence, and constructed identity.

Together, these series create a compelling dialogue about resilience, transformation, and the layered complexity of the human condition. Cinematic yet intimate, Vee Speers’ images invite viewers into carefully composed worlds that feel both timeless and emotionally immediate.

This exhibition marks the beginning of a new collaboration between Vee Speers and In The Gallery Copenhagen.

November – December, 2025 – Copenhagen

At the heart of Stephan Schnedler’s exhibition “The Architecture of Silence” from his series “Unreal Reality” lies a quiet tension: the feeling of being between worlds. Each work captures that moment when reality feels both solid and uncertain, the same sensation we often experience in our own lives.

The architectural forms: corridors, staircases and open windows become metaphors for the psychological spaces we inhabit: transitions, expectations, possibilities, and absences. Schnedler’s spaces look tangible, yet they are built from fragile materials. This duality reflects the collector’s own sense of navigating between stability and change, the seen and the imagined.

Each image can be read as a personal landscape of introspection.

• The empty hallway becomes a metaphor for memory, a path between what once was and what is yet to come.

• The open window speaks of longing, curiosity, or escape.

• The play of shadow and light mirrors how we move between clarity and uncertainty in our own stories.

In this sense, Unreal Reality is not just about architecture, it’s about the architecture of emotion. Schnedler’s photographs invite us to project our own inner worlds onto these silent spaces. Every collector finds a different story within them: for one, a sense of peace and order; for another, solitude or anticipation.

What makes these works compelling for collectors is that they don’t tell you what to feel they give you space to feel yourself within them. They become meditative mirrors, reminding us that reality is often shaped more by perception and imagination than by the materials that construct it.

Owning a work from Unreal Reality is like owning a fragment of that delicate balance between illusion and truth, a still moment where imagination quietly reveals something deeply real.
