Ongoing Exhibition: Jörg Gläscher “Wood, Waves and Energy”

Deutsches Haus at NYU presents Jörg Gläscher’s exhibition “Wood, Waves and Energy,” which is a part of a larger body of work, the so-called “corona diary complex.” The pieces were created during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hamburg and Leipzig between 2020 and 2021. Drawing from his own experiences during the pandemic, Jörg Gläscher developed a photographic approach and expression to visualize the power and force of nature in the form of waves. While the initial works were purely photographic, he soon began intervening in nature itself, creating and installing wave sculptures made of tree limbs and branches in various forms and iterations deep in the forest.
This exhibition will remain on view at Deutsches Haus at NYU through August 23.
