The exhibition of Andreas Lorenschat focuses on the question of meaning: »what´s the whatness of all whatnesses?« The artist investigates the essence of human existence in general and of language and expression in particular.
Correlations of text, picture, and imaginary image are the connecting and central element of all works shown in this exhibition: video, photography, installation, and paper. Andreas Lorenschat ›exposes‹ to the viewer the ›innocent eye‹ simultaneously questioning it from a philosophical and art historical perspective. By creating a portrait of time, the artist makes us feel the passing of time as well as experience history and narratives.
Although or perhaps because the works are grounded in biographical detail general questions such as the question of the ›nature‹ of things emerge and spread over the personal like a veil, covering it, but also allowing what lies beneath to shine through.
The artist’s conceptual works utilize a minimalist yet at the same time poetic ›translation‹ which in its minimalism evokes an even more opulent realm of thought.
