Alternative, 2019-20 is part of the CIRCULATION(S) festival at le Centquatre, Paris

“Alternative, 2019-20” is an exploration of the visual language of mass media and how the issues of euroscepticism and the rise of the far right in Germany are portrayed in social media. Using content from YouTube and Facebook profiles the artist questions how manipulation and the language of power influence political debates and democratic processes. He also discusses how social media has contributed to a “post-truth” political environment. With this polyptych of 175 toned cyanotypes, Behrendt highlights political evolution, transmission and manipulation through these pixelated, transient and recycled images.
Displayed on the wall, the entire project measures 312 x 815 cm.

Opening times: 14 March - 15 May 2020, 2 - 7pm Currently suspended due to the Corona-Crisis.

“Blueprint, 2017-18” is part of the Photographs exhibition and auction at Phillips, London

Debuting at auction is Norman Behrendt with Blueprint, a unique composition comprising 175 cyanotypes. Arriving in London in August 2017, Behrendt started exploring the ways in which different media outlets visualise the issues surrounding Brexit. Focusing on videos found on social media and YouTube, Behrendt would screenshot clips, crop these images and then print them as cyanotypes. Displayed on the wall, the entire project measures 312 x 815 cm; Blueprint is accompanied by a custom designed clamshell box, which neatly contains all 175 prints.

Viewing: 26 October - 1 November
Opening times: Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 12pm-6pm

Fictional Spaces — a territorial and topographical survey of the vast housing estates, built in the typical plattenbau style by order of the East German authorities in the 1980s on the fields in the east of Berlin. An apparent never-ending resource on constantly recurring facades, kilometer-long heating pipes, countless parks and parking lots. The peripheral contrasts the urban, the emptiness oposes the conurbation.

Graffiti writers belong to a fast track, invisible legion of subway, train yards & street roamers who usually operate without anyone in sight, a nocturnal secret society shrouded in mystery and whose anonymity is vital for their self preservation. Their name travels widely across the whole city train lines but their identity is never revealed.

“To be a writer is a big secret. It’s the biggest secret that I keep from my parents. You don’t tell many people, you only tell people who you can trust. There’s a big impulse to maintain secrecy.” 
— DUKO.

Over a period of 5 years, Behrendt has gained a prime access to graffiti writers, train and rooftop burners, exposing the mundane portraits of the many anonymous writers of Berlin.
