until 13.04. | #4192ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from 13. April 2024 (Opening: 01.03) the exhibition AFTERMATH by the artist Jörn Vanhöfen.
Berlin photographer Jörn Vanhöfen, born in 1961, has vividly expressed his artistic and social position with his extensive work AFTERMATH and the book of the same name. Twelve years after the first presentation of the AFTERMATH series in our gallery, we are now showing new works from recent years on the subject.
Like his other works from AFTERMATH, the current pictures again contain the discrepancy between beauty and horror, a theme that runs like a red thread through his entire photographic oeuvre. Images of the eternal cycle of creation and decay, enticing in their aesthetic beauty, frightening because of the content lurking behind them, are the subject of his interest. The structures of the surface and its colourful texture seduce and impress. The narrative quality of his early works recedes. Beauty and fright continue to be the irritating poles that make up the fascination of his works.
