Something is always moving. Ronnie Yarisal and Katja Kublitz’s kinetic, video and installation work reflects situations that exist in a space of constant transition. Movement is explored through a gradual process of tension and release. What appears as sarcastic pessimism, functions as a thinly veiled reminder that though change is inevitable, it can also be interesting, funny and ultimately good. It is in our resistance and attachment to a presumed outcome that arrests us. The guided cyclical destruction inherent in these works, liberates ways of stimulating a transformation.

Yarisal & Kublitz have become well known for their machines and installations, which are characterized, to some extent, by an absurdity similar to the works of Swiss artist Roman Signer. Yarisal & Kublitz works function in a trap-like way: they instinctively anticipate the moment of surprise, in which things may seem to be familiar but, after closer consideration, the immanent codes rewrite themselves, suddenly changing the meaning and the context.

Ronnie Yarisal was born in 1981 in Genf and Katja Kublitz was born 1978 in Copenhagen. The duo lives and works in Berlin and New York.
In addition to numerous international gallery exhibitions, their work has been shown in Kunstmuseum Bern, Kunstverein Wiesbaden, and the Charlottenborg Museum of Art in Copenhagen.
