Kaiserwache is an artist-run space for contemporary art housed in a former public restroom from 1906 in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany). Kaiserwache is currently hosting a solo exhibition by the Swiss artist collective Protoplast, invited by curator Ilja Zaharov. The exhibition runs until 26 April 2026 and can be visited by appointment.

Protoplast (est. 1990, Basel, Switzerland) is a three-member artist collective that has been generating artefacts for over 35 years: cross-domain works oscillating between hybrid glitch and cultural residue. Their practice unfolds across painting, woodcut, drawing, screen printing, etching, sculpture, video, poster art, and large-scale public interventions – a singular visual language running through every medium.

The works operate within a tension of space, time, desire, suffering, and humour. Pop-cultural references meet the legacy of traditional image-making techniques, generating meaning through broken causality and individual association. The group maintains outward anonymity; authorship remains collective.
