ABOUT
SdMKLm is the studio practice of Stefano de Martino and Karen Lohrmann. Working in collaboration since the early 2000s, they address spaces in transformation, cultural manifestations and resultant landscapes.
In 2009, they started the print edition Correspondents in Berlin. In 2011, they launched the platform Urban States in Los Angeles. In 2017, they initiated the testing ground Bay of Mars in Naples, coinciding with the spatial and ecological reclamation of a 16th century rural complex and experimental landscape. In 2020, their ongoing cycle of works, Waiting Land, was one of the conceptual segments of the FRAC Orléans Biennale, Years of Solitude.
They practice, exhibit and publish internationally. Along with a growing number of essays, they have released three publications, Update: All Possible Worlds, How we spent it, and Waiting Land. The work of SdMKLm is recognized and supported by awards, research grants, and project-based residencies.
