Hide 'n Seek

Deep and mysterious, silent and forlorn. The forest seems calm, but our gaze becomes lost in tangled boughs, in the stream that wants to guide us. In his works, Jan Davidoff transforms things that initially appear tranquil and clear into questions that take us deeper and deeper: Where are we, as people? What awaits us here? Davidoff is influenced by the impressions gained on his many journeys.

His works are based on photographs but – through reworking and the use of different materials – they become tableaux rich in contrast. In such a way, the forest is also something complex, a place where we go searching for traces and clues that might lead us to an answer.
