Das Ding Ding
The Heinrich Ehrhardt Gallery’s latest show combines Christopher Muller’s (born 1966 in Stade, Germany) photography and Alex Jasch’s (born 1971 in Duisburg, Germany) sculptural work. While this exhibition is Muller’s third in the gallery, it is Jasch’s first show in Spain. From opposite points of view and different generations, both artists’ direction, content and sources are clearly related in meaning. Muller’s impeccable life-size photos, which seem to be suspended from immaculate white backgrounds, mingle in the space with Jasch’s wildest objects, showing a new relationship in the constant dialogue of their works, as much with the observer as with the elements they are made up of. Christopher Muller’s photos do focus on the study and analysis of the philosophy behind the still-life, using objects characteristic of daily life. Alex Jasch’s sculptures and accumulations, the things he groups together, his found objects and recycling highlight the testimony of human activities and the traces they leave behind, like a metaphor of the creative process. Both artists, motivated almost as collectors and using everyday life as the object of their investigation, give the objects a new nature, using different aesthetic proposals and showing through formal compositions the relationship between the careful selection of Muller’s objects and the most accidental and risky conjugation of Jasch’s discarded elements.
