The \u2018plattenbau\u2019 apartment buildings and dreary industrial surroundings of his youth play a prominent role in his earlier work. A few years ago he met a theatre group and joined them on their tour of Brazil. During his first stay in Sao Paulo he had a culture shock similar to the one he experienced when he first visited West Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Brokof subsequently discovered a chronicle of the 16th-century German adventurer Hans Staden\u2019s stay with a tribe of cannibals in Brazil. In his description of this exotic new world, the mercenary at the same time clearly defined himself as a European. Jan Brokof transfers this perspective to the present, connecting his confrontation as an former East German with the west to his first encounter with contemporary Brazil.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In the installation Tropical Fealing<\/em> he immerses the viewer in a flow of associations concerning cannibalism, capitalism, exoticism an the unknown. In the gallery a gate will be erected that gives access to an unknown, new world. The walls will be covered in jungle wallpaper featuring collages of bodies. The exhibition will also feature a painting of Sao Paulo produced together with the Brazilian collective 44flavours<\/em> as well as videos from the ongoing Hans Staden TV<\/em> project. In Tropical Fealing<\/em> we are confronted with the fear of the unknown that is currently so often abused by populist political forces. In a penetrating and often absurd-comical way, Jan Brokof offers us an opportunity to get to know ‘the other’ and open our minds to things that are alien to us.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the exhibition the publication Tropical Healing<\/em> is issued.<\/p>\n
