With FLOOR CEILING WALL, Galerie Knust Kunst is presenting an exhibition by Munich artist Benjamin Bergmann dedicated to the sphere of his multifaceted works. The title refers to the elementary coordinates of each space – floor, ceiling, wall – and simultaneously describes the scenic scope within which Bergmann's work unfolds.
Bergmann's works resemble stage sets or at least suggested scenes – spaces that not only invite viewing, but also entering, considering, and experiencing. Unlike mere displays, they appear like walk-in narrative spaces in which the viewer becomes part of the scenery. They are spaces of possibility, full of open interpretations and poetic states of suspension. What at first glance appears to be a Readymade 2.0 defies a purely formal analysis upon closer inspection. It's not just the found object that becomes a sculpture, but the gaze upon it – a gaze that honors the everyday, charges the moment, and lends the here and now a quiet intensity.
Bergmann's artistic approach oscillates between the seemingly random and the precisely staged. His works reveal a keen sense for the poetic in the profane, the fragile in the concrete. Between humor and melancholy, between playfulness and seriousness, he creates works that don't so much tell a story as address the act of narration itself – open, fragmentary, and full of spaces.
