With ceramics and painting, Frank Jimin Hopp and Sara Umar pull the veil on the ever-present archetypes of society, some of which have existed for centuries while others are new actors on stage.

About

EN / Peculiar fruit, ceramic pigs, levitating women, and collapsing cakes. The artworks in Ruptured Myths of Present seem wondrous, in their eclectic assemblage of symbols and characters. Frank Jimin Hopp and Sara Umar pull the veil on the ever-present archetypes of society, some of which have existed for centuries while others are new actors who enter the stage. We are confronted with the question: Is it possible to rupture these ancient forces that linger in contemporary life and, like shape-shifters, adopt new forms? Exploring these themes through personal experience creates an authentic tone in which one can find resonance and the relief of commonality and togetherness.

DE / Seltsame Früchte, Keramikschweine, schwebende Frauen und einstürzende Torten. Die Kunstwerke in Ruptured Myths of Present wirken in ihrer eklektischen Zusammenstellung von Symbolen und Figuren wundersam. Frank Jimin Hopp und Sara Umar lüften den Schleier über den allgegenwärtigen Archetypen unserer Gesellschaft, von denen einige schon seit Jahrhunderten existieren, während andere als neue Akteure die Bühne betreten. Wir werden mit der Frage konfrontiert, ob es möglich ist, diese uralten Kräfte, die im heutigen Leben verweilen und wie Gestaltenwandler neue Formen annehmen aufzubrechen? Die Erkundung dieser Themen durch persönliche Erfahrungen schafft einen authentischen Ton, in dem Resonanz und die Erleichterung von Gemeinsamkeit und Zusammengehörigkeit gefunden werden kann.
