Johannes Langkamp

archives - artistic research - audiovisual - sculpting - crossover

I am Johannes Langkamp (1985), a German artist based in Rotterdam. My work begins with wonder where the limits of the imagination occur. In a playful way, unexpected things arise (finds or failures) that lead to material that I process into presentations. In my work I collect processes and theme developments. These arise from experimenting with means, material, and situations. There I look for the possibilities to materialize my thoughts. The guiding principle for the past ten years has been my fascinations around frames, scopes, traces of actions with different media, showing the invisible (perspectives and/or movements) and the creation of unusual perception mechanisms within everyday life. As a result, my work is a constant search for ways to break viewing habits, and thus broaden the view.

Exhibition / presentation

  • 19-11-2022 t/m 15-02-2023
  • In collaboration with: Stuk, Leuven
  • Location: Kunstenlab, Deventer
  • The question that Johannes Langkamp asked himself 'why is a sketch not actually a work of art?' was the reason for presenting his video archive. The archive covers more than ten years of his artistic practice and has recently been housed in a huge digital database. By opening up his archive completely, Langkamp wants to break through the supposed hierarchy between sketch and artwork.
