Synopsis

The works of the conceptual artist Jochem Hendricks (b. Schlüchtern 1959; lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) are both spectacular and precise. Hendricks, who implements his ingenious ideas using a variety of methods and media (video, photography, object, text), takes longings and fears that are familiar to all of us as his point of departure in order to comment on them in a manner that is critical, often humorous, and not seldom ironic. His works are characterized by an aesthetic that seems rather sober at first glance and that he deliberately uses to activate the viewer’s fantasies, memories, and ideas. For many years, his works have examined how knowledge, suppositions, and desires arise.
