In her first exhibition with Haines Gallery, German-based mixed-media
artist Julia Oschatz presents a selection of videos and works on paper featuring an imagined character named 鈥榃esen鈥 (a German word meaning 鈥榖eing鈥 or 鈥榚ssence鈥). As Christopher Cook from the Kemper states, 鈥溾橶esen鈥 is an idiosyncratic protagonist condemned to a nomadic life, perpetually traveling to places far and wide, frequently stumbling upon rather bizarre and dubious situations.鈥
