In connection with her 2026 exhibition The Heart of the Matter at C/O Berlin, Carrie Mae Weem talks with Leonie Möhring, the host of the podcast Chats & Tracks, produced by C/O Berlin and ByteFM. Weems reflects on her beginnings in photography, her relationship with Berlin, and the ideas that have shaped her practice. Their conversation touches on her Kitchen Table Series and Museum Series, and asks questions about representation, vulnerability, institutional power, and the ways images shape history and memory. Weems also speaks about the central role of music in her life and studio practice, and shares some of the artists and songs that accompany her every day.
