NOW I KNOW WHERE THE TAXI IS AND I WON'T LOOK FOR IT ANYMORE.

In his solo exhibition NOW I KNOW WHERE THE TAXI IS AND WILL NOT LOOK FOR IT ANYMORE, artist Harry Hachmeister (born 1979 in Leipzig) presents works from the last three decades of his career at the G2 Schaulager. Hachmeister combines painting, ceramics, sculpture, and photography, which are interwoven in the exhibition to form a comprehensive system of references, offering a profound insight into the artist's dense and multifaceted work.
In his artistic practice, Hachmeister repeatedly explores gender roles, related clichés, and their transcendence. He also examines processes of identity search and discovery within the tension between societal attributions and constructions.
Hachmeister examines and interprets these themes from different perspectives. In doing so, he reinterprets traditionally and ideologically charged objects or fills them with new content, thereby shifting meanings and developing new, independent narratives.
Hachmeister creates his own visual worlds and cosmoses, detached from reality and defying clear categorization. He frequently intertwines visual and textual elements as a narrative device.
Alongside these fictional imagery, the artist repeatedly returns to depictions of his own body. In doing so, he not only utilizes intrinsic forms of expression, such as freely imagined worlds in drawing and painting, but also reflects, through photography, on his own self from an external perspective.
The combined effect of these different visual strategies leads to a complex diversity of expressions and perspectives.
