Charmaine Poh: Make a travel deep of your inside, and don鈥檛 forget me to take
Charmaine Poh has been chosen as Deutsche Bank鈥檚 "Artist of the Year" for 2025. Born in 1990, the Singaporean-Chinese artist and documentary filmmaker divides her time between Singapore and Berlin. In her work, she explores themes such as agency and repair, as well as the visibility and invisibility of queerness and femininity in Asia. Her work is also influenced by Eastern philosophy, media criticism, and cyberfeminism. In the fall of 2025, an exhibition dedicated to Charmaine Poh will be presented at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin.
Established in 2010, the "Artist of the Year" award focuses on promising artists who have created an artistically and socially relevant body of work that incorporates the two focal points of the Deutsche Bank Collection: works on paper and photography. Since 2023, a personality from the global art world, rotating every two years, has nominated artists for the award.
