Of Clowns and other Scoundrels
Images of our self
Six Berlin-based artists set out in search of their inner self and traveled down paths that could not be more diverse: Frauke Bohge, Catherine Bourdon, Andrea Cataudella, Sayyora Muin, Katrin Salentin and Anna-Lisa Unkuri expressed their respective self-enquiry through painting, drawing, collage-making, photography, sculpture, and installation. However, none of them provide any absolute answers to their questions, nor ever fully expose their innermost selves.
Singer-songwriter Jan Plewka contributes a lyrical exploration to the project (together with his colleague Marco Schmedtje) in the form of his song Wie ein Geist (Like a Ghost). In it, he considers the works of the artists and lends words and sound to his thoughts and feelings as an inquisitive observer. (Watch the video at www.von-clowns.com)
