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
Lives and works in Berlin. His practice unfolds across different formats-architecture, displays, performances, music, and sculpture-that engage in dialogue with place and context. Objects are often removed from their original realities to be used through a series of framing devices. In their new containers, they remain connected to their previous lives "out there"-theatrical scenographies, organic matter, or found objects-while also becoming integral elements of a total work. Kleine's work has been presented at the Baltic Triennial (Vilnius), Bonner Kunstverein, KV - Verein für zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig, Volksbühne Berlin, Schinkel Pavillon Berlin, Staatsoper Hamburg, Sammlung Klosterfelde Hamburg, Ruhr Triennial (Bochum), Theater Basel, Museion (Bolzano), and the Venice Biennale, among others.
