Truth Is Simple
Video Installation, 2012
To dig out the secrets you have buried, it is necessary to return to nature: this is the most intimate and direct form of our experience. All processes going on inside us are part of nature, inescapable in their determinacy, thus they are not to be ashamed of or avoided. The video installation “Truth is simple” shows the experience of our thoughts on the stage provided by nature, where all actions are beautiful and necessary. (A.J., K.K.)

Atis Jākobsons has obtained a Master’s degree in Painting from the Arts Academy of Latvis a Latvian-born artist working in painting, photography, and mixed media. His work explores the relationship between the human figure and dream-like environments, which are both immediately haunting and attempts to think visually in the language of abstraction, in terms of line, mass, and color. Throughout, he seeks to register the subtle interplay of conscious inwardness and kinesthetic being in the world, where the somatic blurs into the affective. He presents the viewer with a borderland where bodies confront the radically impersonal sites of nature, space, and form. Before finishing his MFA at the Academy of Painting in Latvia in 2010, Jakobsons held several solo shows in Latvia, and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Latvia, Germany, and France. He currently lives and works in Berlin.
