CON_ is pleased to present ‘DOLLY’ group exhibition by Julian-Jakob Kneer, Fritz Schiffers and Lukas Stöver, the exhibition will be on display from April 25th (Friday), 2025 to May 25th (Sunday), 2025, at CON_ .
CON_Gallery is pleased to premier DOLLY and its eponymous presentation.“DOLLY” is a short film, meticulously composed like the still lives from the old masters, but filmed with the cinematic approach of contemporary Hollywood: A character study and chamber play realized through the excessive staging of a nocturnal car ride and rendered in stylized film noir aesthetics. The elusive narrative unfolds through subtle, forensic details in costume and backdrop, immersive sound design and minimal acting—carefully framing an anonymous protagonist, while coquetting with niche and mainstream references from the film industry. Corresponding prints—presented alongside the film—echo the language of commercial cinema while asserting themselves as autonomous works. Distressed to don as aged memorabilia or vintage production stills, each print has undergone a deliberate and individual process of visual degradation: a faux-patina treatment that mimics the aura of lost cinema and manufactured memory. Functioning as a mise en abyme, they extend and refract the film’s aesthetic logic, reflecting the film back on itself. Together, film and print form a single conceptual body—each birthing and contextualizing the other.
”DOLLY” is the first collaboration between Julian-Jakob Kneer, Fritz Schiffers, and Lukas Stöver.
