JULIA CHARLOTTE RICHTER
POINT BLANK
04-13 June 2021
presented by Clemens Wilhelm
In the exhibition “Point Blank”, Julia Charlotte Richter presents three related video works that form a poetic dramaturgy:
POINT BLANK (2019), CAMP (2017) & AND THE STARS OF THE SKY FELL TO THE EARTH (2021)
„Julia Charlotte Richter's art transcends the individual; she employs an archetypal symbolism that stimulates the unconscious and makes concealed emotions resonate. Although we feel like we „understand“ the protagonists of her video works, we cannot quite grasp what is going on inside them. The observers are left with a blank, an incomprehension that correlates with the artist's imagery.“
