What do we see when we look at a picture? And what influence do space and time have on our perception of reality?
Photography and moving images have long ceased to serve merely as reproductions of reality or as documentation to capture moments for the long term. The artists in the exhibition show that the image can be a construction, a chemical or digital process, a spatial assertion, or a linguistic fragment.
Made in Düsseldorf #8 unites works from the art collection of Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf at Kunstpalast under the title Staged, which examine the tension between reality and human perception. Using photography, film, sound, or sculpture, the artists question the possibilities of depicting reality. In doing so, they make media itself the subject and reveal its potentials, limitations, and translation capabilities using various strategies. The artistic (de-)construction of reality opens up new perspectives for us.
Works by Jan Dibbets, Simon Dybbroe Møller, Andreas Gefeller, Gudrun Kemsa, Sophie Meuresch, Steven Pippin, Barbara Probst, Amanda Ross-Ho, and Juergen Staack are on display.
Made in Düsseldorf is an exhibition series by Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf in cooperation with Kunstpalast. It is dedicated to contemporary artists who are connected with Düsseldorf and the Rhineland through their studies, place of residence, or artistic content.
The eighth exhibition in this series is curated by Esther Breinig.
