Wenn der Frühling eine Herbst­land­schaft erzählt /
when Spring tells of Autumn Land­scapes
Eröffnung: 3. Mai 2026, 16 Uhr

When the Trees and bushes start showing from under­neath their leaves. When their curling Branches are relieved by their late Summer Weight and when the pale but piercing Winter Sun sharpens the lines they draw. It’s like they pose, exposing their resilient charm, summed up by the sparse and countless Embel­lish­ments of turns and swirls, before exploding back into obliging satu­ra­tion. When filling Blank Spaces that are never left bare behind.

In her instal­la­tion at the Wachhaus, Antonia Jüdt explores the deco­ra­tive qualities of art: she trans­lates Vincent van Gogh’s painting *Autumn Landscape with Four Trees* into a drawing, which she uses to drape a canvas. The central theme is her romantic and metho­dical explo­ra­tion of landscape painting. The expansive posi­tio­ning of the image in the guard­house intert­wines her sculp­tural practice with drawing. In doing so, Jüdt high­lights the object-like nature of the image.

Antonia Jüdt has been studying at the Kunst­aka­demie Düssel­dorf since 2020; she will study under Prof. Thomas Grünfeld until 2025 and under Prof. Ima-Abasi Okon starting in 2026.
