Joecly Kay, editor and curator of *Edge of Humanity Magazine*, contacted me some time ago to ask if the magazine could feature my photography project "Urban Structures." The project has now been published as photo essay in the magazine under the title "A Different Perception of The Urban Landscape," comprising a selection of ten photographic works—chosen from a total of eighteen—along with an accompanying text.

Edge of Humanity Magazine is an independent, non-discriminatory platform focused on publishing works that explore the human condition. Since 2014, in addition to a vast collection of photography and art, we have also featured both fictional and non-fictional works.

The portfolio and project "Urban Structures" currently comprises 18 photographic works in black and white in portrait format. None of the works has a specific title, but are named after the portfolio and project, supplemented by a number from 1 to 18. Each photographic work is divided into three sections: an upper one, a narrow middle one, and a lower one. All three sections within the work show different detailed motifs of objects, architectural fragments and spaces located in urban areas.All three sections of the work depict different, detailed motifs of objects, architectural fragments, and spaces in urban areas. With the exception of two works, the three sections present motifs from at least two and at most three different cities. The creators, builders, users, and passersby—in other words, citizens—of these fragmented objects and spaces do not appear. The images depict cities such as Berlin (DE), Yerevan (AM), The Hague (NL), Prague (CZ), Milan (IT), Liege (BE), Eberswalde (DE), Tokyo (JP), Kolkata (IN), Dhaka (BD), Quito (EC) and Toronto (CA).

"Meeting Your Land"

"Meeting Your Land"

My video work "Fields Of Home" will be presented as part of "Meeting Your Land"—an international group exhibition of photography and video held at multiple locations—from 3 - 25 October 2026, in the towns of Zafferana, Pedara, Viagrande, and Milo, all situated in the Mount Etna region of Sicily (Italy).

Meeting Your Land is a multi-venue collective exhibition by artists working with eco-embodied, site- responsive, and place-based methodologies.

Images and videos will be shown across multiple venues in the province of Catania, in various villages located between the sea and the Etna Volcano, transforming the territory into a living exhibition space.

Through this encounter, the exhibition fosters shared ways of sensing and inhabiting land, cultivating connections between artists, audiences, and the living environments they engage with, while opening a reflective space attuned to the vitality, textures, and stories of both near and distant terrains.

By gathering and connecting artworks rooted in diverse territories, the exhibition becomes a meeting of geographies, sensuous vocabularies, and embodied perspectives resonating with one another, thus viting audiences to sense, inhabit, and reflect upon both near and distant lands

 

9th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland “Distortion”

My graphic work "Distortion Of Myself" is being presented at the Transylvanian Art Centre in Sfântu Gheorghe (Romania) as part of the 9th Szeklerland Graphic Art Biennial.

9th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland

“Distortion”

Str. Oltului nr. 2 / Str. 1 decembrie 1918, 5700023, Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania

The 9th edition of the Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland focus the concept of “distortion”. Distortion is an extremely multifaceted and complex phenomenon: it may refer to physical deformation, psychological displacement, or even metaphorical, axiological, and moral deviation. The term simultaneously carries a subtle value judgment and a critical charge, pointing to the distruption of harmony, states of alienation, as well as the crises and conflicts that define our contemporary world. In today’s political and social context, “distortion” is particularly relevant: fundamental principles, meanings, and truths are shifting away from their original purpose, sliding toward new interpretations.

In contemporary art – including contemporary graphic art – distortion is not merely a formal or geometric deformation, but a complex expressive tool that enables the articulation of conceptual tensions, critical reflections, and visual inquiries. In the artist’s hands, distortion becomes a communicative strategy: through the deliberate deviation of reality, it opens up new perspectives, prompts the viewer to question, and challenges conventional frameworks of interpretation.

Through the concept of distortion – as one of the most powerful expressive tools in today’s artistic discourse – the Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland aims, in 2026, to encourage active inquiry and critical reflection among artists. Using contemporary visual language, artists are invited to reflect on the fragility of human perception, social and political pressures, the mutability of historical narratives, and the instability of truth. Through a wide range of graphic techniques, participants are encouraged to experiment with various forms and layers of meaning inherent in the distortion of reality

 

Award for "Nurturing the Plant of Democracy"

Award

My installation work "Die Pflanze der Demokratie hegen"/"Nurturing the Plant of Democracy" —realized as part of the "Kunst findet Stadt" /" Art Finds the City" exhibition project in Rheinbach (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany)—was honored by the jury of the City of Rheinbach.

The installation (two chairs and a table with a green plant) explores the foundations of democracy. Two chairs of equal status represent differing opinions and perspectives, while the table symbolizes dialogue and the search for shared solutions. The plant represents democracy itself, which requires care, commitment, and responsibility to grow and endure. The work invites reflection on the prerequisites for respectful and peaceful coexistence.

My portrait works from various series are generally conceptual in nature. However, they all incorporate predominantly metaphorical and symbolic elements that surround the subject.

 

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》

For the third time, another cube by me, titled “Sun-Windows-Cities” (6042), is being presented at the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale 2026

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》

Urban Nature Art - Let the Sunlight in through My Window

12/09/ - 08/11//2026 / Daily except Mondays 10.00-17.00 h

Nature Art Museum Ko - Exhbition Gallery 2, Geumgang Nature Art Center,

98 Yeonmisan Gogae-gil, Gongju City, Republic of Korea

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》, which has been conducted as one of the indoor exhibitions of 《 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale》 since 2017, is a program that seeks to interpret and broaden awareness of nature in various ways of thinking and expression in a 12cm cube. In fact, dealing with nature in a limited space is not as easy as you might think, but on the other hand, because it is a limited space, paradoxically, you may be able to show more imagination.

About the Cube “Sun-Windows-Cities”,(6042)

The cubus pursues an emotional and philosophical approach. The main elements, rings/circles, symbolize the sun (light), windows, and cities. Simultaneously, they symbolize inside and outside, a home, a community, but also the longing for harmony. The stripes metaphorically represent the interconnectedness of everything.

This work focuses on the representation of mental aspects related to memories, such as thoughts and feelings, traumatic events or emergencies, and their impact on the individual (humanity). No actual sounds of violence, witness testimonies, or moral judgments will be heard. It is merely a quiet reflection on all kinds of memories of harsh, destructive events. Yet these memories offer neither comfort nor hope. They leave only a void filled with unanswered questions.

K33 -

Radiophrenia Shorts 65B 20 September 2026 3:50 pm - 4:10 pm

The work is based on personal experiences traversing the paths and rooms filled with trash and debris in a former conservatory building in its final days before demolition. The work seeks a dialogue not only with the physical waste and space, but also with the spiritual debris of abandoned ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

24. 08. - 30. 08. 2026.

Novi Sad & Odzaci, Serbia

Performance / exhibition venue in Novi Sad:

SULUV gallery, Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 9

Part of the IMAF festival will be presented online and as a multimedia exhibition during the duration of the festival. This year's video performance presentation presents 28 works by over 35 artists from 21 countries. The project of online presentation of the video performance on the YouTube channel of the IMAF festival will be realized from August 24 to September 5, 2026. Another of the accompanying events within IMAF 2026 is the international multimedia exhibition. Photographs, digital prints, drawings and video works submitted for this year's online presentation will be exhibits for a multimedia exhibition entitled "Performance = Freedom". Thus, the participants of the online presentation are also exhibitors at the "Performance = Freedom" exhibition.

About the performance “meaning to be hidden”

Following a strict choreography, the performer reflects the concept of dignity in relation to time, stillness, the power of solitude, and life through carefully executed movements. It highlights the fact that every living being and every object has dignity and its own time. Furthermore, the work takes a philosophical approach within the context of time and dignity. At the same time, the work also addresses loneliness. Being alone is not always painful, but it can be complex and challenging. We may be in a phase of longing for companionship and change, but we must also ask ourselves whether the process of yearning for belonging to a social environment has already begun, or whether we are ultimately consciously avoiding any sense of belonging or connection to others.

New gallery and shop on Saatchi Art,

I am currently setting up a gallery and shop on Saatchi Art, where my work can be purchased.

At present, the gallery and shop are focusing on a selection of my photographs from various portfolios. I have chosen nude and floral photography in particular to highlight the contrasts in my work. Limiting the focus to these two themes and photography serves to provide a clear overview of my interdisciplinary and multimedia work on this gallery and shop platform. After a certain initial period, printmaking may be added, and the themes will change.

Here is the link to take a first look at the gallery and shop.

https://www.saatchiart.com/en-nl/johannesgerard

I chose Saatchi Art because it is a curated platform that focuses purely on art and caters to an art-interested audience/collectors. I closed for good my shop on Etsy due to my dissatisfaction with the platform.

ON SCREEN is an international video art festival dedicated to the exploration of the digital medium.

Founded in 2021, ON SCREEN is a curatorial streaming festival that serves as an international platform for artists who push the boundaries of digital narrative, glitch aesthetics, post digital perception, and screen based experimentation. The festival understands the monitor not merely as a display surface, but as a curatorial space — a hybrid canvas with its own physical, temporal, and digital properties. Through its unique format of curated Seasons, ON SCREEN explores how moving images behave, transform, and persist within the expanded field of digital culture. It brings together artists whose works challenge linearity, question the stability of the image, and open new pathways for audiovisual creation in the post digital era.

Each Season,ON SCREEN curates a selection of artists whose works are presented through our Broadcast Layout — a clean, screen‑native interface designed specifically for ON SCREEN. This format highlights the digital materiality of each piece and creates a focused viewing experience accessible to audiences worldwide.

"Kunst findet Stadt -"Art Finds the City" 2

"Kunst findet Stadt - Thema Demokratie" /"Art Finds the City" – 

Theme: Democracy

23/05 - September 15/09/2026: Works in public spaces

11/07 - September 15/09/2026: Works in shop windows

(opening was 11 July 2026)

Center of Rheinbach (NRW), Germany

With "Kunst findet Stadt," the city of Rheinbach is initiating a multi-month cultural project that deliberately blurs the boundaries between public space, everyday life, and contemporary art. True to the guiding principle "Art is where you are," the city itself becomes an exhibition space: streets and squares become stages, shop windows curated presentation areas—in short, "the city becomes a gallery."The center will be transformed into an open, freely accessible art landscape. A total of 29 artistic positions, including twelve installations in public spaces and 17 works as part of a shop window exhibition, will enter into direct dialogue with the urban space and society. The exhibition is continu-ously accompanied by tours, lectures and concerts.

About the work

As mentioned in the previously post , I had the opportunity to create two works for this event.

The first work is a graphic work entitled " Eine andere Sichtweise - A Different Perspective" (No15) which can be seen at the optician's shop Optik Ansichtweise, Hauptstraße 55., Rheinbach.

With "Eine andere Sichtweise - A Different Perspective," I depart from the focus of my previous artistic work and develops a graphic visual language that employs a metaphorical narrative. Birds become stand-ins for people with diverse personalities, experiences, and worldviews. Together, they sit on a rope that provides support and simultaneously symbolizes the foundation of a democratic society. Democracy thrives on diversity and differing opinions. It requires the willingness to form majorities without losing sight of minorities and to respect other perspectives. Tolerance, empathy, and mutual respect create the stability that enables peaceful coexistence.

The second work is the spatial installation "Die Pflanze der Demokratie hegen - Nurturing the Plant of Democracy," (No21) which is exhibited in the shop window of the optician's shop Optik Schulz, Hauptstraße 12, Rheinbach.

The installation uses simple, everyday objects to explore the fundamental principles of a democratic society. Two chairs facing each other, a table, and a potted plant form a minimalist arrangement that emphasizes dialogue and cooperation. The plant symbolizes democracy. Like any living plant, it needs attention, care, and suitable conditions to grow and thrive. Democracy is not a static state, but an ongoing process that requires commitment and respon- sibility. The two chairs are equal: they are the same distance from the table and at the same height. They symbolize people with different opinions, political convictions, and perspectives. Democracy thrives on the acceptance of these differences and the ability to find common solutions through respectful exchange.The white table alludes to the search for consensus and peaceful coexistence. The work deliberately avoids explicit labels or explanations. Instead, the installation invites viewers to interpret the symbolism themselves and reflect on the conditions necessary for democracy to endure.

Both works inviting the viewers to continually question their own viewpoint and consider things from a different perspective. It serves as a reminder that everyone is part of a community—unique in their own perspective and yet connected by the shared responsibility of maintaining balance.

 

" Kunst findet Stadt " (Arts finds the City)

Two of my works were selected for the art project "Kunst findet Stadt (Art Finds the City) in the shop window exhibition category of the city of Rheinbach (North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany. The first work is a graphic piece entitled "Andere Ansichten / A Different Perspective" and the second is a spatial installation entitled "Die Pflanze der Demokratie hegen / Nurturing the Plant of Democracy".

Ode aan de Linge art festival - "9054" or "A Ritual of..".

Ode aan de Linge art festival - "9054" or "A Ritual of..".

Here is a selection of images of the installation titled "9054" or "A Ritual of…", which I set up on the weekend of July 4th and 5th July 2026 as part of the "Ode aan de Linge" art festival, themed "Water"  in the Heemtuin in Geldermalsen, Netherlands.

Material: Mirrors, ceramics bowls, pebbles, water

The installation is relatively small for a piece of land art. Its intention, however, is to draw attention to the nature of our environment and its details. The installation allows for various interpretations. It can be seen as a reflection and interpretation of the surrounding nature: the pond, the leaves on the water, the reflection of the sky and the trees in the water… At the same time, the installation reflects elements and perspectives of Far Eastern philosophies based on my extended stay in the Far East. Water is the basis of life and ultimately stronger than stone. Water possesses many different qualities. It is the basis of life, but it can also be devastatingly destructive. It is a metaphor for movement, power, and floating, but also for tranquility, contemplation, silence, purity, and cleanliness. The installation focuses on these five key concepts.

The image shows a selection of photos of the land art installation. The installation is located in front of a pool on a lawn. It consists of 16 mirrors arranged in a square. On the mirrors are 14 bowls filled with small white and black pebbles and water. Two mirrors at opposite corners have no bowls; instead, beige and black pebbles rest on the mirrors. The reason for this was to prevent the installation from appearing too uniform and to create a harmonious contrast and tension. Furthermore, these two corner points mark an invisible parallel line to the edge of the pond.

EISA Photography Maestro Contest 2026

EISA Photography Maestro Contest 2026. Under the theme "Travel," photographers could participate in the "Single Image" and "Series" categories.

My small travel photo series became runner-up in the Dutch section of the competition. The series was published in connection with the contest, along with a short article in the Dutch photography magazine FOCUS issue #3/2026.

“This series approaches the theme of travel from a different perspective and a different context. The photos show travel in relation to all everyday situations and daily life. Instead of beautiful landscapes, monuments, busy airports or train stations, or people in a folkloric setting, which are normally associated with travel and travel photography, here you see trams, rickshaws with their passengers and drivers, buses, river ferries, or the nighttime view from above of the endless stream of lights from

cars and buses in an urban context. Everything is in motion in one way or another. The photos were taken in Kolkata (India), Narail and Dhaka (Bangladesh), and Taipei (Taiwan) during working stays.

Generally, for this type of photo, I do not plan fixed series and I do not focus on one specific subject or theme in advance.” •

My interpretations about bicycles are presented in this group exhibition

26 June – 25 July, 2026

Opening: 26 June, 2026, 6:00 p.m.

MAGISTRALE KUNSTHALLE

Karl-Marx-Strasse. 192, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder), Germany

Opening Hours:

Thursday-Friday 2:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.,

Saturday: 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.

About the exhibition

Magistrale Kunsthalle presents a cross-border exhibition project that focuses on the connection between cycling culture and contemporary art.

The exhibition brings together artistic positions that explore the bicycle as an object, symbol, and medium. On display are sculptures, installations, conceptual works, and mobile artworks that address issues of mobility, sustainability, public space, and social change.

About the photo works

The concept behind the three images is based on depicting bicycles from unusual or unsettling perspectives.These bicycles symbolize malfunctions and the temporary inability to continue riding. For a brief moment, however, they become a kind of installation art in public space. They show that a bicycle is not just a means of transport, but can suddenly transform into an art object that can be discovered in the urban environment. 

 

The Live Performances - HAPPENING UNDER VESUΛIO

HAPPENING UNDER VESUΛIO

Festival

June 12–13, 2026

Residency

June 7–14, 2026

Villa Santa Maria, Via Raffaele Ferrante 4, Domicella (AV), Italy

On June 12th and 13th 2026, I finally performed several times, presenting two performances. The first was a new site-specific performance that I had developed specifically for the festival. This new live performance was also an interdisciplinary project, as it incorporated a site-specific land art installation called "9055," which I've already mentioned. The performance shares the same title: "9055." The second performance, "The Plant," is an older work from 2023 and is adapted for each location. Both performances are silent, without any sound, featuring constant, slow, repetitive movements and actions. This created a contrast to the sound art pieces and the other, more moving performances by the other artists. Both performances took place at sunset and at night, which created a further contrast.

Both performances are partly based on the philosophical concepts of Zen and the Japanese concept of Ma. The concept of Ma, for example, represents a dynamic emptiness or pause—like the silence between notes in music, empty spaces in visual compositions, or pauses in conversation. Furthermore, other key words symbolize dignity, the relationship to time, silence, the Circle of Life, the power of solitude, and the fact that every living being and every object possesses its own inherent dignity. Autobiographical elements became also incorporated.
