Jeremy Demester - Fire Walk Without Me

Jeremy Demester takes on the nature of art and the artifice of myth-old myths from the taming of fire, and new myths produced by television. His exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin borrowed its title, Fire Walk With Me, from David Lynch for a lateral exploration of the human condition with several work groups involved in a dialog. This book presents all works in full detail and in exhibition shots illustrating the way in which the separate parts interacted in the space. The images are accompanied with an essay on the show's mythical themes by the art critic and psychoanalyst Annabelle Gugnon. Additionally, the publication contains a booklet of a concurrent show Demester organized for the gallery: You know nothing Raymond, a homage to the late Raymond Hains. Here the young artist selects works by his older peer, the title in tribute to Hains' never flagging curiosity, and the selection of works attesting to the visual, even painterly, qualities of his conceptual oeuvre.
