Cahuenga is used for Gisela Getty’s exhibition “Ashes to Rishikesh”, which explores death, love, freedom, and renewal as part of one continuous flow. In Rishikesh, where the Ganges symbolizes both life and departure, the exhibition reflects on endings as beginnings. Cahuenga’s gentle forms mirror this theme—fluid, balanced, and quietly alive—evoking stillness and change.
Its balance the exhibition’s emotional tone—intimate yet expansive, rooted in loss but reaching toward transformation. Developed through a thoughtful, model-free process, Cahuenga holds a clear, sincere character shaped by both function and feeling.
Cahuenga embodies clarity and distinction. Developed without a fixed model, its form evolved through a long, considered process shaped equally by aesthetics and function. It holds a sincere tone and balance.
Gisela Getty: Ashes To Rishikesh
Photography Exhibition | Sept 10 - Sept 14, 2025 | Berlin Art Week | Ryan Mendoza Studio
The photo exhibition is dedicated to the final year of my twin sister Jutta Winkelmann’s life, documenting her dying process through a unique series of photographs created in close collaboration. Jutta and I gained prominence as key figures of the 1968 movement, a time when we lived a new way of life. This exhibition opens a dialogue about death—not as an end, but as a spiritual journey and the beginning of new life. It invites visitors to engage with an intimate process and confront a still-taboo topic in our culture.
