Sophie Jung

Characteristic to Sophie Jung’s practice (b. 1982, Luxembourg, based between Basel and London), the artist reads her new scripts written in response to the setting and the sculptures she produced with objects found at and around the site.

Works entitled as: Der Krieg ernährt den Krieg – The Feeding of the 5k, Wrap your Arms Around Me, The Last Supper, Oh Kneal Before Me Wash My Feet create polyphony in the text, switching between multiple languages and voices at once.

“A single button failed to screen they failed to scream. The door won’t close you hang between the hin ges hin Gesicht entspannt hin ge bun ge Bunker voll. Die Zähne frisch geputzt und doch verloren minutes and your stake is cooked your stake hold her tight grip nothing shared di Vision ist stumpf die Weide ist leer, das Vieh ist tot.” – excerpt from the ‘Wrap your Arms around me’.
