Press Release
Johanna von Monkiewitsch's central artistic concern is a substantial examination of the manifestations of light and its interaction with matter. In serially arranged groups of works and individually conceived installations, Johanna von Monkiewitsch materializes found daylight and sunlight situations. She records these by video, such as the reflection of sunlight reflected by water on a wall, or uses photography to register their interaction with paper. The significance of the presence of light – and thus implicitly also its absence – for the constitution of Johanna von Monkiewitsch's artistic work becomes just as clear as for our perception in general and our understanding of reality in general. Her works originate from concrete spatial contexts and as such are in turn placed in precise spatial settings. In this way, they pose considerations about their own nature as well as fundamentally about how space is made recognizable.
