Provenance Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin Catalogue Essay In his search for the Arch-State of Atlantisis, Jonathan Meese seeks to live out his utopian reflections and reconstructions of German history and mythology. While working with a wide range of different mediums, Meese utilises a constant theme of symbols that allude to characters in literature, cinematography, history and pop culture. Amongst others, Meese’s artistic realm is inhabited by personalities such as Scarlett Johansson, Richard Wagner Balthus and Zardoz, whose historical contexts are manipulated by consistent interweaving and superimposition.
