Niklas Taleb

Info: In collaboration with Lucas Hirsch, Caprii presents an exhibition of photographs by Niklas Taleb. The exhibition features photographs that he took a few years ago, some of them during the pandemic. Nothing remarkable happens – he merely seems to be reproducing his visual impressions. There are upside-down views out of the window, views of a screen broadcasting a poker tournament. In a framed photograph, a self-portrait that reveals nothing more than his closed lips and a plaster, perhaps concealing a pimple, hidden behind the door. Many of the works are presented between two panes of glass. In addition, Taleb shows a spatial intervention from 2021: a natural-colored wooden strip, mounted in front of a white lacquered wooden strip of the gallery. The lengths are not correct everywhere and so there are again, surprise, gaps. (…) Location: Caprii, Orangeriestr. 6, 40213 Düsseldorf.
