Jakob Bettin's (*1989) works are characterized by a tolerance for ambiguity – the endurance of opposites and tensions without wanting to make a specific statement. His view of themes is the result of a creative, often lyrical process that enables him to get to the “heart of the matter” in his works. However, he imbues this expression with a certain outlandishness or obscurity, often accompanied by a smile. In this way, he creates a lightness that invites the viewer to be more deeply inspired and to engage with complex themes and feelings. “Imagine you are the feeling that everyone is talking about or that has been with you for a long time. Every feeling needs its own space."
