stars without motivation

With art, the collective - Stars Without Motivation - has the opportunity to present and reflect existing social structures. Their passion has always been creative and artistic work - painting, photographing, designing and experimenting with different materials. SWM uses a wide variety of techniques.

The work focus on the translation of emotions and sensual experiences into abstract compositions. We associate the handling of colors, shapes, ideas, impressions and fantasies with sensuality and it is about the tangible character of the painterly process itself. In a symbiotic way materials, shapes and colors are combined. The source of inspiration can be found in the urban environment - in the interplay between nature and the city.

Located in Berlin, the collective has been working together since 2016. Alexandra Bachmann completed her film and photography studies in NRW, NY & Berlin. After that, there were many trips and project work with e.g. FM Einheit, The Wachowskis, Todd Weinstein, Tom Sand and Mel Adelglass. Alexandra Bachmann works as a freelance photographer and artist.
Aykut Okcu opened the club AVA-Star (Audio-Video-Art) in Berlin during his sociology studies. In addition to sound and light installations, object work with steel and concrete was part of the field of action. Currently he is working as a craft educator (supervise the art courses in different workshops and schools) and freelance artist for commissioned projects.
