bbb johannes deimling born 1969 in the german town andernach on the rhine river, has worked since 1988 as
an artist in the fields of performance art, video, object, installation, drawing and music. especially with his
performative works, the artist became internationally renowned. in numerous performance art festivals, in
exhibitions and in the public he presented his ephemeral works in germany, poland, switzerland, estonia, austria,
romania, france, italy, spain, england, czech republic, serbia, finnland, the netherlands, israel, canada and cuba.
under the term ‚agierte bilder‘ - acted, or living images, used since 1995 the artist creates living images, which
he puts into a pictorial aspect. based on an idea or a concept a performance will be developed, in an incisive
moment the ontic tangible reality solidifies. in the moment of the presentation, johannes constitutes an image
that focuses everyday life or social conflict situations. thereby accrues an acted image, which points beyond the
bare experience of sense, because with each action deimling alienates something from us that is well known.
he uses well-known objects in a changed way, twists courses of action right around or remains in a pose, which
appear at first sight strange, on the second a deeper meaning is seen. here the creative act is the centre of
attention. in the ultimately accruing image the precisely planned consistency of the first singular appearing
gestures shows up.
he conceptualizes an image of our society, which shows it full of contradictions, sentimentally, stupidly and badly,
but also affectionately, creatively and cooperatively. he observes the world from his characterized point of view.
a temporary image remains in the memory of the viewer. particularly these images of bbb johannes deimling,
show a nearly sliding transition between what is ordinary and what is art.
