Jens J. Meyer

Triangles cut up the space, they are stretched like sails and turn the found place into a frame for completely new spaces. Jens J. Meyer creates a unique atmosphere with the help of filigree constructions made of tight fabrics and ropes. By playing with light, shadow and human perception, the intercontinental working artist succeeds in decelerating the visitor and guiding him on a meditative journey. Impressions captured on film during the artist's voyages and projected onto the sculptural screen take the viewer to the sea or to South America. This extraordinary architecture, maintained by artistic knotting, is shown in exhibition venues around the world. Whether it is a church hall, the outdoors or contemporary glass buildings, Jens J. Meyer changes what is familiar to the eye and temporarily creates new places. This artist's biography captures the ephemeral and atmospheric work of Jens J. Meyer in text and image, allowing the reader to travel.
