One Day It Will Be Like When We´ve Already Lived

Sep 07, 2021 - Oct 16, 2021

„Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.“ (William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, Scene V). In this exhibition, the artists explore, each in their own way, one of the innumerable facets of the great human Comedy.

Self-proclaimed „artist of mediocrity“ (but is not mediocre who wants to), Jacques ³¢¾±³úè²Ô±ð stages himself in many ways, in often hybrid artworks of which some reappear as remake several years he does not hesitate to produce „remakes“ several years later. Here ³¢¾±³úè²Ô±ð is appealing to all lovers of good taste: „Collectors, you must acquire a mediocre artwork by ³¢¾±³úè²Ô±ð to highlight your furniture and your stylish masterpieces!“. Philippe Ramette and Pierrick Sorin also play with their own image, the first one taking on the role of a dandy, undisturbed by the upheavals of the world, while the second struggles in delirious video sketches in form of miniatur optical theaters. Anyway „The show must go on,“ as Johan Muyle proclaims with a small kinetic sculpture on wich a curtain opens and closes over the stolen video footage of Saddam Hussein‘s execution.

Reality or fiction? On Terry Rodgers´s side, views of cozy interiors crowded by more or less naked bodies evoke photographic snapshots - but each model has posed individually for the artist, who creates his pictorial compositions afterward. Hervé Ic also works with models and posing sessions, but to paint portraits seen from the back, in which the subjects seem to be turned towards the spotlights of a stage. The Rodox series, inwhich he multiplies allusions to art history, freezes the moments before the actors of vintage pornographic films enter the scene on the set. David Kramer designs his works also on the basis of found images, including advertising, on which he superimposes more or less deep going personal reflections, such as voiceovers in the movie film of a lifetime.
