Christian Jankowski is a mastermind of transformation. He turns casual conversation, improvisation, and shared experiences, into parallel realities, frequently exploiting himself and involving the elusive potential of the future.

Jankowski presents three works at SI for his first solo exhibition in New York:

My Life as a Dove, 1996
Singing Customs Officers, 1999
The Matrix Effect, 2000

Jankowski does not work in the solitude of his studio but by interacting with others, allowing the unpredictability of human behavior to determine his work.
He asks us to consider what happens when the art is left in the hands of magicians, customs officers, and children?

Christian Jankowski lives and works in Berlin.
