Über das Buch
Johannes Zits brings to a long tradition of portraiture a new human component that transmits a powerful if subtle political message. Like the woman burrowing through a tangle of roots, Zits’ photographs contain within them an element of subversion. His figures and their environment are so well proportioned as to be a single entity. While this idea of our co-dependence with the natural world we live in is hardly news, like the body itself, there is much in our culture to indicate that we all but constantly overlook it. The problem with this obtuseness is easy to comprehend: it risks a collective march towards the precipice. In his work, Zits finds a way to mitigate this tendency by showing us how we might take a step back and see ourselves as we are: just a small if integral part of the larger picture.

Johannes Zits

Johannes Zits is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores art making through various media, including video, digital imaging, photography, collage and painting. Focusing on the body and the many meanings it engenders, Zits’ work draws attention to the conventional image-making process and the way images from mass media are disseminated and consumed. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from York University in 1984, Johannes Zits has shown his work across Canada as well as internationally in venues that include The New Paradise, Taipei (1997); Fotogalerie, Vienna (2000); Galerie Nord, Berlin (2004) Canadian Culture Centre Paris (2005). In January of 2008, he presented a large solo exhibition at the WRARF in Caen, France and presented new work at Wilde Gallery in Berlin. In April of 2010, he conceived and produced the initial presentation of the performance-based work ‘Embodying Nature’, a collaboration with the artist, Ren Qian in Chongqing, China.
