LANDSCAPE OF QUESTIONS + ANSWERSInstallation
Solo Exhibition at Galerie Ladøns, 2023
In the second exhibition of the series Landscape of Questions + Answers, Dünne Jungs pre-
sented recordings taken during interviews with over 50 passers-by in and around Hamburg.
The basis for this was a questionnaire that allowed a free, but also situation-dependent access
to the conversations. The questions ranged on a broad spectrum: from superficial to personal
and socio-political. Answers were recorded, weaved into a tapestry of sound and were then
presented in the rooms of the Galerie Ladøns. You can hear stories, anecdotes, opinions and
comments from very different kind of people, whose encounter outside these rooms remains
improbable. In this way, the artists nevertheless succeeded in establishing a dialogue between
them, while at the same time allowing visitors to break out of their own thought bubble and ad-
mit new perspectives. The sculptures served as intermediaries between the interviewees and
the audience, inviting them to sit back and listen. With the composite aesthetic, the collective
also refered to the audible contrasts, while the individual image motifs were inspired by the
narratives and people.

The audios were seemingly coming out of the sculptures, free to be heard whenever one felt
like spending some time on the cosy seating landscapes. In addition one could take some candy
and engage with the other visitors sitting across.
