Domestication, 2009
Yarisal & Kublitz is the artist duo Ronnie Yarisal and Katja Kublitz from Switzerland and Denmark, respectively. Working with time-based elements, their ideas are often based on intensifying the moment…”a reminder of the unbearable fragility of the moment.” I was drawn to their deadpan format of storytelling using elements that are stripped down to the core. At the opening to their latest show “Doubter II” at Kunsthalle Galapagos, Ronnie insisted that I must go back to experience the installation without the crowd. He described it as a “happening”, which changes according to the moment. There is certainly a zen quality to their artworks, in which the subject and audience can do nothing but to accept.
