Jörg Sasse, one of the key figures of the well-known Dusseldorf School of Photography, is an artist who since the 1990s has traced systematically and in an original manner the various attributes of the synthesised digital image, and also the question of how the photographic image in turn forms our own perception of the world. Throughout his body of work he has continuously pointed out the arbitrary and non-transparent qualities of our visual memory and its photographic support system, in order to create a kind of personal parallel universe within photography, one which is free of concrete detail, existing solely in the form of visual ideas.
Sasse’s exhibition at the House of Art in Ceské Budejovice (Budweis) is concentrated on his emblematic cycle Tableaus, in which the artist has created since 1993, through a complicated appropriation, combination and postproduction of images, his own fictional and archetypal scenes. The exhibition, prepared by Jörg Sasse specifically for the House of Art, is the first solo presentation of this exceptional German artist in the Czech Republic.
