“I’m a liar, but a good one”, Simon Lehner states. The title of his solo show at KOENIG2 involves questions of memory, truth, trauma, authorship and artistic production that are expressed in a reduced setting of four works. There is no classical photography to be seen; instead, the wall objects and animations seem to be related to painting.
From the transformation of personal photo archives into newly interpreted digital spaces, he generates singular leitmotifs that manifest themselves as alter ego, petrol station, cave, table or television. These constellations of images, always somewhat varying and mined from the archive, coalesce in diverse combinations into two- or three-dimensional surfaces, ultimately to be painted by a robot. At every stage of the production process, small lacunae emerge.
At the same time, the elaborately produced works do not come across as cold, flat or mechanical. A humanely warm feeling evaporates, capturing our imagination. This is due to the earthy color spectrum of the archival material underlying the works, including wooden furniture and flesh tones. The chronological dimension within them, ranging from the parental recording of an event of family life, up to its artistic processing, is thus not negated.
