Johannes Langkamp

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.
