Bruno Jakob: Cruising

Salts, Birsfeld, Switzerland

An exhibition exploring the figure of the Wanderer (digital, social, political &
sexual).

Breath, time suspended, forever interrupted (Weisses Lächeln) (2011) is part of Burno Jakob’s ongoing series of “Invisible Paintings.” Assuming that pictures don’t need to be visible in order to be real, Jakob has developed a body of work that radically questions our cultural faith in visual evidence. However, Jakob works in a very traditional way, using paintbrushes, different waters, and steam to draw on canvases, paper, and walls. The artworks remain empty to our eyes only because Jakob uses energy, brainwaves, natural forces or love instead of pigments.
