Ferdinand Dölberg
You see what I might think and the pipes hear what the others see
20.02. – 04.04.26
On You see what I might think and the pipes hear what the others see
In his new body of work, the artist Ferdinand Dölberg addresses internal dialogue and the innermost thoughts we all have. His paintings formally recall cinematic techniques, and they are installed in ways that mirror the monadic nature of our consciousness. What if we could hear and see the innermost thoughts of others?
The paintings and prints refine familiar motifs from Dölberg’s practice: communication, estrangement, work, and the ambivalence between joy and constraint that his characters experience within the systems he sketches for them. Dölberg undertakes an analysis of sociality and consciousness, while also pushing painting to its limits by staging it in the space.
