In her film “The Third Party” (2014) a group of people, wearing formal suits and white shirts, are interacting in a strange environment, as if they were coming from a secret society. The actors are in fact employees of a bank in Germany. The film has the aesthetic of found footage, but the artist operated both as a filmmaker and a choreographer. The scenario is based on ritualised movements and uncanny situations that take the beholder onto a surrealistic rite de passage.

Sebastian Klemm and Silvia Bonsiepe founded KLEMM’S as a gallery for contemporary art in 2007. They represent artists from different generations, cultural backgrounds and media whose work is linked by a shared interest in the transformation of experienced reality and who engage with social realities in combination with an aesthetic consciousness. It is important for Klemm’s to support and accompany the artists through the early stages of their development and steadily foster their development and careers in a progressive international context. In conceiving the program, it is essential for them to offer the artists a platform that allows their conceptual approaches to unfold individually and also to reflect upon and enhance each other.
