For her exhibition "Check In", the Berlin artist Tatjana Doll has selected an imposing series of 40 large to very large format paintings, titled "Dummy_Akku-Akku". All the paintings depict the mystical stone figures of the Easter Islands, called Moai, as powerful artistic self-representations of man.

Tatjana Doll's artworks were created between 2014 and 2022. The Akku-Akkus are a basic motif for the artist; as icons of a past high culture, they protect, so to speak, all her other paintings and visualisations of present high culture, such as cars, aeroplanes, containers or pictograms in her other works.

The paintings hang, figuratively speaking, with their backs to the stage and auditorium. In this way, the Moai protect the performance that is taking place behind them in the auditorium, similar to the stewards who protect a football match by standing in front of the boards. In the foyer, the Moai look symbolically into the open sea, which is not Berlin or the world, but the now.
