l’après midi
Birgit Jürgenssen
Kunstverein München, May 10 – July 6, 2025

Birgit Jürgenssen’s video l’après midi is on view as part of the onsite and online series Schaufenster. In the 2001 work, a camera circles around itself recording the artist’s private space, with herself and her cat in it. Each time the camera’s lens glides past them, the shot resumes a normal speed and captures Jürgenssen performing a different leisure pose, wearing a different colored wig. The video unfolds as an intimate choreography midway between the depiction and the deconstruction of the (artist’s) self.
