LAST CHANCE to see JÖRG SASSE’s solo exhibition ‘Red Doors’ open until this Saturday 29 AUG 2026 at Domgasse 6 in Vienna.
Sasse’s pictorial spaces explore the power of the visual. His compositions consisting of pictorial blocks create a formally reduced, almost perfect reality that nonetheless always entails small elements that confound us. These breaks in particular destabilize our perception, allowing the constant reflection on visual structures to become palpable, perhaps tying this into current debates. Many artists have only recently begun to address issues relating to artificial intelligence, while the key questions in Sasse’s art seem as if he had already anticipated the current situation. The represented objects appear both familiar and strange, near and inaccessible. This impression is additionally reinforced by compositional rigor, abstracted surfaces, and hypnotic colors, letting the photographs oscillate between documentation and construction, between photography and painting.
