Carmen D’Apollonio, Margarete Jakschik

Info: We are delighted to announce the exhibition Tell Me Why with Carmen D’Apollonio and Margarete Jakschik which brings together a new group of six lamps and a series of ten new photographic works. The exhibition is based on a long-standing friendship, shared travels and a deep interest in each other’s work, they proposed this show, conceived it together and selected the final works in consultation with each other. Carmen D’Apollonio began her career in the mid-1990s as an art director for short films and commercials, quickly establishing herself as a significant figure in the art world through her decade-long collaboration with renowned artist Urs Fischer. In 2006, she launched the fashion brand Ikou Tschüss. (…) Margarete Jakschik’s images were made with an analogue medium-format camera. The photographs are personal, at times of an intimate closeness, and yet give little away about themselves. This is also what lends them their quality of not merely depicting this place or that experience. These are images that we will inevitably fill with our own memories – just as we end up associating more of what is our own, rather than what is someone else’s, with a song that has long accompanied us.
