Biography
Jesper Just's practice revolves around video and installation, which he often combines in architecturally complex environments. Transferring the codes and techniques of cinema into the realm of visual art, his works break viewers’ expectations of narrative arc and dramaturgy. By creating enigmatic and ambiguous situations, he encourages the audience to focus not on the words spoken or the actions performed by the characters, but on the emotions, mental states and relationships conveyed by the works.
