Natural Histories by Damien Olsen Berdichevsky: Reimagining Artifacts and Memory at Amos Eno Gallery

Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Damien Olsen Berdichevsky presents Natural Histories, a solo exhibition at Amos Eno Gallery on view from November 13 to December 21, 2025. Transforming the gallery into a 21st-century cabinet of curiosities, Berdichevsky blurs the line between museum display and dreamscape. Through sculptural assemblages and surreal dioramas, he reconfigures found, discarded, and fabricated objects into new mythologies—creating an uncanny landscape where the ancient meets the futuristic and the familiar becomes strange.

In a world saturated by images and information, Berdichevsky’s work invites a slower, more reflective engagement with material and memory. His process of erasure—stripping objects of their histories—opens a space for rediscovery, echoing a “psychological archaeology” that uncovers meaning through intuition and detour. Natural Histories examines how we construct value and authenticity in an era when the boundary between the real and the artificial grows increasingly blurred.

The exhibition also features a live sound performance on November 22 at 4 p.m., where Berdichevsky will create an improvised soundtrack inspired by his visual works. Integrating his background in music, psychology, dance, and Zen Buddhism, the artist composes immersive soundscapes that translate visual art into auditory experience, transforming sculpture and painting into living sound.

Born in Buenos Aires and shaped by a multicultural journey through Brazil and New York, Berdichevsky’s interdisciplinary approach merges the contemplative and the experimental. With Natural Histories, he offers viewers a meditation on transformation, memory, and the enduring mystery of the handmade in a digitized world.
