The exhibition presents current ceramics by Rosa Hentrich and photographs by Jessen Oestergaard. Both artists are keen observers of their surroundings, particularly nature and the diverse organic patterns and forms it produces. They also share a penchant for narrative: Oestergaard's pictures appear like puzzles, whose inconsistencies lead the viewer to search for clues. His photographs are always an expression of what is not shown, which inevitably "presents" itself in the imagination. The images are complemented by short prose texts by the artist, which lay a trail but do not explain anything. Traces can also be found in Hentrich's work, whose objects appear like pottery fairy tales from different times and countries. They condense sometimes humorous but also thoughtful stories that are inspired by plants and animals. Oestergarrd and Hentrich share their joy of experimentation and their desire for the unknown and the unpredictable. This freedom is also reflected in artistic production (in Oestergaard's case in the inspirational relationship to his medium, instant photography, and in Hentrich's case in her limitlessly inventive treatment of clay) and makes her and us companions on a journey with an open outcome.

Jessen Oestergaard was born in Berlin in 1962. He lives and works near Schwetzingen. M.A. in English/Romance Studies at the University of Heidelberg. DAAD scholarship holder at San Diego State University.
