Jörg Rupert
In addition to drawings and photographs, his artistic work mainly comprises videos, short films and texts in which found footage and self-created/staged/filmed material are interwoven or animated. Rupert Jörg collects and films a myriad of styles, individual scenes and social media fragments, which he later assembles into film and photo collages. In terms of content, he deals with the transformation of the media and its impact, manipulation, radicalism, power imbalances, propaganda, conspiracy myths, appropriation and the question of authorship.
His collaboration with children and young people from his video workshops in (extra)curricular programmes flows into many of his projects.
In his drawings, he employs a naive aesthetic to sketch processes from the media and politics that are sometimes difficult to visualise, as well as childhood memories, and presents them in a narrative form.
