In the present exhibition Jeppesen has been preoccupied with the awareness that everything breaks down at some point, after which something new is created. This is a natural part of our world which is inevitable – whether we like it or not.
The works exhibited belong to the series ‘The Pond’. In his work Jeppesen has been fascinated by the decomposition process in ponds and how they form part of the natural environment. The pond represents a process in nature that is not affected by human beings: an unruly, wild environment that takes care of itself and will not be controlled. As an extension of this theme Jeppesen has created a number of glass tanks in which cloth is stretched in the middle of the tank, after which the various tanks have been filled with a clear liquid. The stretched piece of cloth starts to float inside the tank and creates references to another element in the exhibition – a study of hands that have been transferred from negatives to linen using the cyanotype process. The hands are separated from their bodies and thus also create a floating illusion like the cloth in the tanks[…]
