Christian Jankowski is one of the most influential action and concept artists of his generation. To this very day, he has been repeatedly surprising the international art world, particularly with his subversive performances and actions. The metaphor of the travelling artist leads to the heart of Christian Jankowski's artistic praxis. He developed his distinctive artistic approach, which involves a sociallyrelevant praxis that leads him again and again into the unknown. Adopting the distant stance of a researcher, Jankowski also engages with his own culture. The exhibition invites viewers to see our life world, history, the media and art from a whole new perspective. The extensive catalogue gives an overview of the artist's works from 2014 to 2022, encompassing not only films but also photographs, sculptures and paintings. – Text by Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König
