Jeremy Knowles in Residency
October 2024

In October 2024, Co-Making Matters welcomed British artist Jeremy Knowles (@jeremyphilipknowles) for a two-week residency. Since relocating to Berlin in 2016, Jeremy has explored the intersection of photography, walking, and legislation—particularly focusing on Germany’s strict privacy laws and their contrast with the UK’s more lenient public space regulations.

His artistic inquiry reflects on the role of the photographer as both observer and participant, negotiating questions of visibility, consent, and surveillance in the urban environment. Using walking as a method to navigate and understand spatial and legal boundaries, his work seeks to position itself in the grey zone between two distinct legal-cultural frameworks.

During the residency, Jeremy continued the development of his Master's project at Kunsthochschule Weißensee under the working title “Snapping Back.” Based at Co-Making Matters, he conducted fieldwork in and around Alexanderplatz, testing photographic and performative strategies in response to the site’s layered histories and its contemporary conditions as a contested public space.

The residency supported Jeremy’s ongoing research into visual agency, individual rights, and artistic responsibility within shared urban settings.
