Jana Schumacher
In Reference to the invisible - pendulum

Opening: 28.11.2025 6pm
28.11.25 - 04.01.2026
#5 related to corporeality

At the center of my work lies the question of how order and chaos shape our understanding of the world. My new series examines how scientific models and religious–esoteric systems function as interpretive and strategic responses to societal uncertainty. Chaos, decay, and instability emerge here as fundamental dynamics that structure both individual and collective forms of action.

In this body of work, the pendulum appears as a seismograph of the invisible—at once a research tool, divinatory device, and system of orientation that renders the transitions between rational analysis and intuitive perception visible. The wax-cast sculptures mark a state of transition: wax is only temporarily fixed, malleable, and sensitive to external influences. It embodies that fragile zone of transformation in which interpretation and understanding must continually be renegotiated. (Jana Schumacher)

DESCONOCIDO es una exposición colectiva que reúne obras y artistas de espacios de arte independientes en Berlín, Los Ángeles y Ciudad de México. La muestra parte de una premisa esencial: explorar el concepto de "lo desconocido" como un territorio de descubrimiento. La selección de las obras gira en torno a esta idea, generando un espacio donde las piezas establecen diálogos inesperados entre sí. Al abandonar una narrativa lineal, DESCONOCIDO invita al espectador a un viaje personal. La experiencia no está guiada, sino que se construye a través de la curiosidad, la percepción inmediata y los hallazgos que surgen al enfrentarse a lo no familiar.

DESCONOCIDO is a group exhibition bringing together artists and works from independent project spaces in Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. The exhibition is built on a core premise: to explore the concept of "the unknown" as a territory of discovery. The selection of works revolves around this idea, creating a space where the pieces establish unexpected dialogues with one another. By abandoning a linear narrative, DESCONOCIDO invites the viewer on a personal journey. The experience is unguided, constructed instead through curiosity, immediate perception, and the discoveries that arise from encountering the unfamiliar.
