Description
Modern Photography
Klauke, Jürgen
Home Game. From: Sunday Neuroses. 1990/1991. Cibachrome print on Ilfochrome Classic paper. 100 x 80 cm. Signed and numbered. - Overall, very good condition. A magnificent, high-contrast print of the full-frame composition with a grainy, nuanced effect.
One of 99 copies. - Published by Schellmann Edition, Munich/New York. - In his staged self-portraits, Jürgen Klauke consistently uses his own body as a medium to explore gender, identity and social norms, in a visual language that oscillates between theatricality and analytical detachment. This approach is further refined in the present work: the upright figure, clad in a black robe, exudes a sense of static control, whilst the box-shaped object, which distorts the silhouette from within, simultaneously undermines this sense of sovereignty. The series *Sonntagsneurosen* revolves around states of stagnation and underlying unease, in which the everyday becomes a stage for latent dysfunction. The title *Heimspiel* heightens this ambivalence to the point of irony: what promises superiority and familiarity proves to be a fragile arrangement.
