BBB Johannes Deimling born 1969 in the german town Andernach on the Rhine River, has worked since 1988 as an artist in the fields of performance art, video, object, installation, drawing and music. Especially with his performative works, the artist became internationally renowned. In numerous performance art festivals, in exhibitions and in the public he presented his ephemeral works in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Estonia, Austria, Romania, France, Italy, Spain, England, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Israel, Canada and Cuba.
Under the term 'agierte Bilder' - acted, or living images, used since 1995 the artist creates living images, which he puts into a pictorial aspect. Based on an idea or a concept a performance will be developed, with which he in an incisive moment the ontic tangible reality solidifies. In the moment of the presentation, constitutes an image that focuses everyday life or social conflict situations. Thereby accrues an acted image, which points beyond the bare experience of sense, because with each action Deimling alienates something from us that is well known. He uses well-known objects in a changed way, twists courses of action right around or remains in a pose, which appear at first sight strange, on the second all the more comes out with a deeper meaning. Here the creative act is the centre of attention. In the ultimately accruing image the precisely planned consistency of the first singular appearing gestures shows up.
He conceptualize an image of our society, which shows it full of contradictions, sentimentally, stupidly and badly, but also affectionately, creatively and cooperatively. He observes the world from his characterized point of view. A temporary image remains in the memory of the viewer. Particularly these images of BBB Johannes Deimling, show a nearly sliding transition between usual ordinariness and art.
Deimling finds his ideas and suggestions in the banality of the all day life and combines these researches with its own biography. The artist transforms topics such as patience, will, war, religion and transportation into physical images. The head is often a focus and again in the performances whether as living sculpture covered with plasters (band aids) or as material struck against the wall. At the creation of its acted images he works often with simple, poor materials.
Performance Art is for BBB Johannes Deimling of artistic and social value, which orients itself more on all day life than the meaning of art at the museum, a radical and honest form of the visual arts, which the creation of a work of art, its presentation, reception and reflection unites in one moment. The centre is the creative act. Not the commercial use of the work is crucial, but the volatility inspired by the impression of the viewer. The absence of a manifested artwork is not a fault, but a quality characteristic. An ephemeral moment happens and unites different personal levels, which the artist offers to his public. Deimling speaks with his body and with its movements and creates a platform of communication. This stands on four columns: The body of the artist, the time, the space and the communication with the viewer. In the moment the creative act merges the four elements into a unique readable sign of general importance, the heart of the artistic act.
