For behind the aesthetic appeal of its composition, is the ambiguity of aesthetics and human omnipresence in times of globalization. His landscapes are places where people worked, left carelessly and has forgotten, but also places of transformation as the recordings of forest and bush fires in Portugal, droughts or marble quarrying in Cararra.
Man has created with its legacies landscapes that ravage, pollute and crowd mountains of scrap paper and old car tires, industrial sites and abandoned premises of mega cities. There arise peculiarly poetic photographs that irritate and challenge our experience of reality, because they are beyond the uniqueness. And so we come Vanhöfens photographs, also on “the modern, sentimental feeling for nature,” which was mentioned by the philosopher Georg Lukás said that it is only the “projection of the experience and the self-created environment for the people no longer father’s house, but a dungeon” .
Nature is not the bringer of solace, but “the historical-philosophical objectification of alienation between humans and their structures.” Sure, it’s almost trivial to highlight today that images are ambiguous. But with the large number of images and visual stimuli that surround us every day and seeing the exact flatten, it seems necessary, especially the conscious perception and attention demand again. Attention describes the quality of perception. Jörn Vanhöfen forces the viewer of his paintings, not only to consume, but reading the images.

One of Japan’s leading photographers, Yoneda, working from her base in Europe, has had her work selected for inclusion in the Venice Biennale and other art exhibitions throughout the world.
Yoneda Tomoko not only addresses subjects visible in reality but also projects the memories and history associated with places and things onto her work. As a result, through the act of looking at photographs, the viewer is challenged to question anew the essence of what is we actually are able to see.
To Yoneda, who, in two decades of living overseas, has been keenly aware of her Japanese identity, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake has had a profound impact. Much of her early work focused on Europe, but she has recently increasingly addressed Taiwan, Korea, and other parts of Asia, particularly places involved in the course of Japan’s modernization. This exhibition focuses on Yoneda’s most renowned photographs, plus new images created especially for the exhibition, to introduce the world of Yoneda Tomoko as it unfolds, in the present progressive tense.
