EBENSPERGER is pleased to present Jens Pecho’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. For Things That Are Over, Pecho shows several new works in dialogue with selected earlier works. Using a broad spectrum of media ranging from sound, text, photography, olfactory works to light art, he explores concepts, worldviews and personal memories of loved ones connected by one aspect: Their time has passed.

The past appears in Pecho’s exhibition in a Janus-faced way and in many different forms: as a fictional place of longing, a disenchanted illusion or as a hybris that was misconstructed from the start. All these elements leave us with an ambivalent feeling that makes a clear judgement difficult. The only certainty is that the past is not simply behind us, but continues to have an effect on us.
