CIRCA Projects — Clemens von Wedemeyer
Publication.
To mark the occasion of the exhibition 'Clemens von Wedemeyer', the artists first exhibition in the UK outside of London, CIRCA Projects produced a limited edition publication with film stills and new text by writer, curator and Art Review's Contributing Editor for Berlin, Axel Lapp.
The celebrated work of Clemens von Wedemeyer is characterised by its exploration of the rituals of cinema and documentary, and by its use of looping narratives and dizzying repetition. For this solo exhibition, a different film from von Wedemeyer will open every two weeks. Against Death (2009) and From the opposite side (2007), represent the artist's use of cinematic strategies and motifs in his attempt to draw together the relationship between the two languages of cinema and art. Emerging out of the artworks themselves, the concept for this exhibition format draws on the constantly revolving scenarios we see in von Wedemeyer’s films as they loop temporally, physically and narratively within a space, pushing the boundaries of the screen.
