In the exhibition Das Ende vom Lied Jenny Rosemeyer presents new large-sized
collages, objects and sculptures. Put together in a somehow sad ensemble,
they describe a kind of dissolution and end of things. In her black and
white photographic collages and objects Rosemeyer mainly deals with - as
regards form and content – phenomenons of a second nature (duplication of
reality), such as film coulisses, bawn architecture in animal parks,
amusement parks, waxworks, museums of natural history, decrements and
reproductions of current popular good. Different levels of photographs and
reproductions of images from the popular good, self-constructed objects,
finds and models merge into a final image carrier. Starting point is the
real of reality, world and perception in the model; an important
precondition is the photographing and reproduction of images, the collection
and the filing of different motifs, writings and image carpets. In this way,
a huge photographic archive was created in the last years, from which the
artist chooses in the beginning of the working process. With these
inspirations she braids a sort of nid, which links different points and
finally crosses its own entanglement. The collages describe moments of
absence from something, the peripheral, in the sense of before and
afterwards.
Due to the fast introduction of digital masses, photography looses its
power, its authenticity. In her works, Rosemeyer uses the last shreds of
belief of this gender. Photography functions as carrier of illusion and
reality. Regardless the stilistic and political variations, the artist
questions reality as a modified convention of popular modes of
interpretation. Rooms are defined as temporary stopovers. With the artistic
form of sampling, in Rosemeyer’s works are created other realities, which do
not mainly flirt with effects and optical illusion, but which focus on the
activating of a “second attention”.
Jenny Rosemeyer was born in Berlin in 1974. She graduated from the Academy
of Visual Arts in Dresden and the Columbia University in New York. Recently,
she received a working grant for 2007 from the cultural administration of
the Berlin Senate. Lastly, her works were shown in the project “...und
sehnsüchtig gleiten die Ballone rund um die Welt” in Berlin as well as in
the Neue Berliner Kunstverein. Other works will be soon presented in the
Display-Delikatessenhaus in Leipzig together with works by Jeroen Jacobs.
