“A loop is the constant repetition of a sequence of sounds, images, behaviors or trains of thought – a temporal loop and in a way also a paradox: despite continuous movement, there is no progress and the person caught in the loop always returns to the same starting point. Time passes and yet at the same time seems to stand still. The loop is a kind of cycle in time from which there seems to be no way out. Agnes Jänsch and Johannes Karl, both artists in Munich who focus on moving images and video, are fascinated by the loop, as it is present in many ways in our everyday lives. The loop plays an important role as a life principle in the form of many people’s habits and quirks. It gives them the opportunity to find security in recurring events and behaviors that allow them to ignore other issues. At the same time, the permanent repetition of images and sounds plays an important role in contemporary art as an exciting artistic design tool. The LOOP exhibition in the gallery of the BBK Schwaben Nord and Augsburg shows several video works that work with the stylistic device of the loop. As a result, they operate at the interface between photography and film. While Johannes Karl quotes and animates figures from historical paintings for his works, Agnes Jänsch refers to found photographs.“

The starting point was the ballad “Der Knabe im Moor” (The Boy on the Moor) by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The children developed an improvised narrative theater piece with pantomime scenes that tells a story about fear of the forces of nature. They were supported in the staging by actress and theater educator Nikola Rappel.
Homemade masks made from recycled and natural materials, created under the guidance of artist Erika Kassnel-Henneberg, served as imaginative props and at the same time challenged the children to find alternative uses for them in order to meet their special needs.
