Studio Visit

Our visit to the Tempelhof studio shared by Julian Charrière and Julius von Bismarck gave our Patrons exceptional insights into both the artists’ individual practices and the projects they create together. 

Julian Charrière explores ideas of nature and its transformation over deep geological and human historical time. Addressing pressing ecological matters, his work frequently stems from fieldwork in remote locations with acute geophysical identities, such as volcanoes, ice fields, oil palm plantations, and undersea and radioactive sites. An ongoing reflection upon the mythos and politics of exploration in a globalised age is central to his practice.

Julius von Bismarck challenges people’s ability to perceive in his works. Working across different media, he uses the laws of physics to challenge the way we are used to seeing things. The relationship between man and nature is one of his main subjects. His fascination for natural environments is related to their altered perception in the context of ongoing climate change.
