00:10 >> My name is Sebastian Klemm from Klemm's Gallery,
00:13 and we're here in the presentation
00:15 of Jonas Rosmeisel, a young German sculptor
00:18 who is oftentimes using as well the environment
00:22 to present his works.
00:24 So as you said correctly, the walls and the whole setup
00:29 of the presentation is already quite specific.
00:31 So Jonas chose to present his works in a surrounding
00:35 that is already psychologically loaded a bit.
00:37 You can see we don't have the classical wall covering,
00:41 so he chose to take all the wallpapers off
00:44 so to show the structure and the raw material basically
00:48 of the environment and as well put in like a kind
00:55 of specific carpet which resembles like an office floor
00:58 but in a white tint which would get dirty over the course
01:03 of the fair to, yeah, put something around his work
01:07 where the sculptures that he did
01:09 for the presentation could be taken in a bit more precisely
01:15 and, yeah, in a more concentrated matter
01:17 because Jonas' work is very complex, so he does a lot
01:22 of research about the ongoings and societal situations
01:27 as we found ourselves in at the moment.
01:29 So there's a lot of friction.
01:30 There's a lot of potential to go in a right interesting way
01:34 or into a more drastic developments in society
01:38 but Jonas takes that as a stage to, yeah, present his works
01:44 and in an open setting.
01:47 So there's no clear direction where you should think
01:51 about them and it's a classical sculptural approach in a sense.
01:54 So as you mentioned, there's some kinetic aspects
01:57 which are but more the techniques that he uses.
02:02 So there's this motor driven piece.
02:05 There's a shredder piece in that entity over there
02:08 and the work is called Shredder L and it has a screen with a,
02:15 yeah, a very old piece of technique in there.
02:19 So it's like a dark hole
02:22 which takes all information being images, text,
02:26 like it's something that works quite erratically as most
02:30 of his presentation here I think.
02:32 So it's like the work has an appealing
02:35 and an appalling effect.
02:36 So they are I think quite catchy and interesting to look at
02:40 so and it makes sense to walk around them.
02:43 Even the pieces on the wall have various perspectives on them
02:47 and at the same time you have a psychological, I'd say,
02:51 dimension to them.
02:52 So you always have to make up your mind what you're actually
02:54 looking at and the closer you study them, the more you can see
02:59 that they are fully worked through.
03:01 So it's not an assemblage of interesting material.
03:03 It's more like a real sculptural approach
03:07 so that Jonas chooses his materials quite deliberately
03:12 and works on them very, very precisely.
03:16 And so the feedback for the presentation here is
03:18 so far outstanding.
03:20 So we were able to place works with institutional context
03:24 and a lot of visitors are intrigued and interested
03:29 in what he's doing here.
