Here is some more information about the exhibition:
The Museum Kerg invites Hannah Schemel and Steffen Diemer with their gallery owner Peter Zimmermann. Both artists are influenced by Japanese aesthetics, a naturalism that strives for perfection but breaks through it again and again. Because nothing is perfect in itself and only in this way can a balance arise. Silence. It seeps out of the fine haze. The haze of the things that surround us every day. A glass of water that we use every day. Blackberries that we eat. In the small things of everyday life Steffen Diemer always finds surprising beauty. With a subtle eye, he arranges these at first glance simple objects into charming still lifes. One of his favorite subjects are blossoms. A cherry blossom branch that reminds us of the feeling when we welcome spring. A brief pause and the childlike joy that grips us in consideration of the annual natural spectacle of the ongoing cycle of life. In Japan, sakura, the cherry blossom, is even honored with its own festival, hanami.
Hannah Schemel takes viewers outside. Her series Umi, the Sea, and Kigen, the Origin, are created on the Breton coast and in her home, the Black Forest. You can almost feel the salty spray on your face. Hear the sound of waves crashing on rocks. In the rhythm of nature, the sea rears up, only to lie still again the next moment. The fleeting mist of fog is captured by the artist through hours of perseverance. The Black Forest shows as delicate details of tree tops, but also in larger views that make us smell dew-soaked pine needles and moss. Moments to rediscover hidden beauties. To pause and take a breath.
