On the occasion of the Gallery Weekend Berlin,
Delmes & Zander presents works by Cologne-born artists Horst
Ademeit (1937-2010). Discovered by the gallery in 2008, Ademeit
obsessively devoted close to 40 years of his life to collecting
information – through photography and meticulous note-keeping –
that would establish the existence of what he called “cold rays,”
unseen forces that he believed severely impaired and impacted upon
his life and surroundings. Developing a complex, at times
quasi-scientific system of reference with precise facts and dates he
recorded, Ademeit's photographic documentation portrays the threats
and mysteries of everyday life. Trapped in a Kafkaesque world,
Ademeit created structures of order for himself in an attempt to make
sense of an otherwise all-consuming presentiment.
Horst Ademeit's works have been shown solo at White
Columns (New York, 2010)
and the Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin, 2011), as well as
in a group at the Biennale Sao Paulo (2012), David Zwirner (System
and Vision, New York, 2015) and at the Serralves Foundation (Under
the Clouds, curated by João Ribas, Porto, 2015).
Delmes & Zander administrate the Ademeit estate
since 2010.
