The Return of the Real - Ausstellung Berlin

Ausstellung Galerie Gallery Taik Persons

Gallery Taik Persons is delighted to announce a collaborative exhibition with Gallery Niels Borch Jensen featuring the works of three Danish artists: Joakim Eskildsen, Olafur Eliasson and Adam Jeppesen.



Eskildsen, Eliasson and Jeppesen each present photographic perspectives of expansive nature, which when viewed in dialogue with one-another reveal the malleability of our perceptions. While their techniques, visual foci and final structures differ, the artists’ works collectively capture the dynamism of the nature to which they pay tribute.
The varying artistic executions and presentations of the landscapes in the exhibition create an awareness of how deeply personal, and variable, our modes of seeing are. The artists photograph the realities they encounter without staging or manipulating, and yet the outcome is nevertheless an interpretation, an insight into their sensibilities.



Joakim Eskildsen was born in 1971 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He trained with Royal Court photographer Mrs. Rigmor Mydtskov and gained his MA from the University of Art and Design Helsinki. He is represented in public and private collections including The National Museum of Photography, Denmark, The Museum of Contemporary Art KIASMA, Finland, Fotomuseum Wintherthur, Switzerland, and The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. He has published several monographs : Nordic Signs (1995), Bluetide (1997), iChickenMoon (1999), and The Roma Journeys (2007, Steidl, introduction by Günther Grass). Steidl will publish American Realities and Home Works in the near future. The Danish National Museum of Photography will present a retrospective of Eskildsen‘s works in 2015. Eskildsen lives and works in Berlin.
