Cryptids

Sculptures in concrete that incorporate plastic plants, soundscape and video

Jeron uses the debris of our civilisation, packing material and plastic bottles to create the moulds for his cast in concrete sculptures. They are concerned with the materiality of the city; the remains of the ongoing civilisation creating speculative constellations.

Jeron’s cryptids are enactments of anti-anthropocentrism, placing importance on the symbiosis of humans, animals, plants and things. The work refers to the ecological relationships of the species without separation of the biological and the social in the context of “natureculture” thinking (Donna Haraway). 

These creatures confuse the authentic with the fake. 

 

Skulpturen aus Beton, Plastikpflanzen, Soundscape und Video

Jeron benutzt Zivilisationsmüll, Verpackungsmaterial und Plastikflaschen als Gießform für seine Betonskulpturen. Sie handeln von der Materialität der Stadt; die Überreste der fortschreitenden Zivilisation schaffen spekulative Konstellationen. 

Jerons Kryptide sind Aufführungen des Anti-Anthropozentrismus und legen Wert auf die Symbiose von Mensch, Tier, Pflanze und Ding. Die Arbeit bezieht sich auf die ökologischen Beziehungen der Arten ohne Trennung von Biologie und Sozialem im Kontext des “Naturkultur” Denkens  (Donna Haraway).

Diese Kreaturen vermischen Authentisches mit Nachahmung.
