Michael Kleine has used historical objects from the Museu Frederic Marès to create a scenography in which elements such as light intensity, movement through the room or acoustics determine presence in the space. By understanding energy as a historical flow that is also manifested from a spiritual dimension, this scenographic work involves a kind of enclosure that destabilises the individual subject.
Objects in Kleine's work are often uprooted from their original context to be given new meaning through a set of scenographic mechanisms. These objects retain a part of their past existence within their new frameworks of meaning while simultaneously becoming part of another ontological configuration.
Michael Kleine
Michael Kleine lives and works in Berlin. His practice moves between formats, across architecture, displays, performances, music and sculptural work in dialogue with site and context. Objects are often uprooted from their original realities and use through a series of framing devices. In their new containers, they are still part of their former lives 'out there' as theatre props, organic matter, and found objects, whilst also being integral elements of one total work. He has shown work at the Baltic Triennial, Vilnius; Bonner Kunstverein, KV Kunstverein Leipzig, Volksbühne Berlin, Schinkel Pavillon Berlin, Staatsoper Hamburg, Sammlung Klosterfelde Hamburg, Ruhr Triennale Bochum, Theater Basel, Museion Bozen, and the Biennale d'Arte di Venezia, among others.
