Jochen Lempert in the Ann and Jürgen Wilde Collection

Following shows devoted to Heidi Specker, Vibeke Tandberg and Christopher Muller, works by the Hamburg-based artist Jochen Lempert (born in 1958) from the Ann and Jürgen Wilde Collection comprise an exhibition attempting to define this artist's place within the collection. Jochen Lempert studied biology and experimented with diverse media, such as film before starting to work as a photographer. Imperative to his work is an examination of the perception and domestication of that which is animalistic. The artist acts as an archivist and a specialist in phenomenology. In the process, his visual realm manifests itself in an unpretentious materiality and its presentation using photographic paper attains a strong, poetic forcefulness. Forms correspond to open up a wide field of developmental history as well as a relationship to cultural history. For the purpose of the exhibition, Jochen Lempert created links to works by Friedrich Seidenstücker, Duane Michals, Albert Renger-Patzsch and others by providing them with a place in his very own visual realm.
