BETROGENER TRAUM
A Berlin exhibition of 80+ works and a 56-track techno concept album — a seven-area journey from collapse to transformation, built as a collective rebuild after betrayal.
TARGET GOALS

Berlin
More soon
Triggered by a real case of fraud and exploitation in the art world (Tokyo, 2024), BETROGENER TRAUM turns anger into form —
and aftermath into agency. Area 05 is a platform for other artists. Area 07 opens into support, rights and real pathways forward.
STORY
BETROGENER TRAUM is the story of a dream that was stolen —and of an artist who chose to take the ruins and build an entirely new universe out of them.
Why it exists
In 2024, I prepared for a group exhibition in Tokyo. A dream. A promise. A breakthrough I had worked toward for a long time. What awaited me was not triumph — it was betrayal. Triggered by a real case of fraud and exploitation within the art world, something began to speak: anger. Not as destruction — but as a motor for transformation.
The Decision
After it happened, one truth became clear:
No one was coming to open the door.
So I stopped waiting to be discovered.
I built my own space — and I built it wide enough for others to step into.
What BETROGENER TRAUM became
BETROGENER TRAUM is not revenge.
It is a rebuild.
A system of seven Areas — a walkable journey from collapse to release.
A world where painting, objects, installation and sound merge into one immersive experience.
Why it matters (today)
This project is personal — but it isn’t only personal.
Because betrayal, silence, gatekeeping and exploitation are patterns many creatives know.
BETROGENER TRAUM exists to make that visible —
and to prove that transformation is possible when we build together.
EXHIBITION - What it is
BETROGENER TRAUM is a Berlin exhibition world of 80+ works —
built as a physical journey through 7 Areas (emotional zones / narrative levels).
Painting, objects, mixed media and installation merge into one immersive experience.
This is not a white-cube show — it’s a world you move through.
THE 07 AREAS
Each Area functions as its own frequency:
Entry → Pressure → System → Fracture → Distortion → Integration → Transformation
A walkable process — from collapse to release.

AREA 05 - Community Layer
Area 05 is curated as a platform space for other artists who have experienced exploitation, exclusion or broken promises within the creative industry.
It expands BETROGENER TRAUM from one story into a shared field — a collective voice.
AREA 07 - Transformation & Support
The final Area is the closing transformation — but also an opening.
Area 07 connects the exhibition to real-world orientation: artists’ rights, support networks, guidance, and pathways forward.

MUSIC
The soundtrack is part of the exhibition
The BETROGENER TRAUM concept album is not background music.
It is a second experience layer — physical, emotional, in your face.
Produced by BECKER, the album translates his works into sound:
techno as a mantle for anger, expression and release — and under that mantle, the images begin to speak.
56 tracks — no two alike
This is a full concept album built like the exhibition itself:
pressure → fracture → clarity → transformation.
​
Some tracks hit as hardcore intensity,
others flip into unexpected sweetness — but none are predictable.
​
To fully experience BETROGENER TRAUM, the album is meant to be heard front to back.
​
All tracks are released on SoundCloud under BECKER’s AI-jockey pseudonym:
