The video work 'Disorderly' by Clemens Wittkowski explores the human longing for security in life while simultaneously subverting the already ambivalent relationship between order and disorder from a deliberately inverted perspective. This new perspective creates different structures and impulses. We seek orientation, explanation, and plausibility...
The video work 'Smoke + Mirrors' by Clemens Wittkowski explores the theme of our transience. Deep within the soul lie the hidden and the unfathomable, and both instinctively resist the inevitable – the fact that one day we will no longer be. Like breathing, the...
The video work 'Delta' by Clemens Wittkowski combines the feeling of strong attachment with that of a divisive, vulnerable otherness. The setting appears ambivalent: we find ourselves in a cold, musty basement room. On the one hand, it seems like a haven, empty and swept...
The video work 'I wasn't very close to anyone. Although, I guess I wanted to be.' by Clemens Wittkowski visually shows us a massive and rugged mountain landscape. We gaze distantly at cloud-covered, snow-capped, and sharp-edged peaks. The sublimity of the scenery, which has a...

After half a minute, however, the scenery and the sound become something else: an impressive firework display lights up with virtuosity,...
The video work 'iSign' by Clemens Wittkowski dissects the perceptible discrepancy between action and reaction. In a barren dune landscape on heathland, a white flag is waved back and forth. It is far away from us. As a renunciation of resistance, as a sign of...
The video work 'Hier' (Here) by Clemens Wittkowski visualizes our soul in an unprecedented way. On the surface of an aging children's blackboard, on which people normally scribble, draw, calculate, and write, we follow a hand acting with white chalk, observing and listening almost distantly...
