The possibilities of looking or going back in time have been a human desire expressed in various artistic forms and theoretical science. But, rather than thinking of a concrete experience in other decades or past times, von Bismarck reflects on the idea of an “objective history” that is not filtered and assessed through the writing and concepts of history, which are biased. The way historians or contemporaries interpret historical circumstances and structures is always subject to change, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to have a neutral reflection of any given event. Those who write about history necessarily propose an interpretation of the past and postulate causalities and connections for this purpose. In the end, a utopian idea such as a history that is not written seems nearly as utopian as von Bismarck’s model of a technical construction to observe Earth’s events. However, he argues: “The mirrors are comparably easy to build, but need to be sent into space way before we will be able to build a telescope powerful enough to look through them.” In his practice, Julius von Bismarck researches processes of perception which shape our understanding of the natural world. Through his conceptual video, photographic and sculptural work, he regularly unmasks perspectives and schemes on nature and landscape resulting from already existing and historically developed narratives. In revealing this prejudice or copy-paste mentality, he offers and adds new and autonomous perspectives. With this exhibition at alexander levy, he expands his field of interest from earthly grounds into space.
