Dear Shaded Viewers,
This exhibition is part of an exchange between Johann Konig, Berlin and Gallery Jousse ENtreprise, Paris. He will debut his new video called "Con Leche" (with milk). The title refers to the main subjects of the artwork: animated cartoon Diet Coke bottles filled with milk.THese characters walk through the desolate urban streets in real video sometimes in groups and sometimes alone. The image wobbles, flips and turns inside of the video frame. A commercial voice over actress speaks from texts Wolfson collected from the internet referencing identity, technology, memory and mortality most of which are spoken accounts in first person. Every few minutes Jordan Wolfson interrupts her giving basic instructions and adjustments distorting her tone and volume. The American artist lives between Berlin and New York.
