JETZT WEISS ICH WO DAS TAXI IST UND WERDE NICHT MEHR DANACH SUCHEN

Harry Hachmeister

May 08–August 23, 2026
Opening: Thursday, May 7,  2026, 5–8 pm

In the solo exhibition JETZT WEISS ICH WO DAS TAXI IST UND WERDE NICHT MEHR DANACH SUCHEN, the artist Harry Hachmeister (*1979 in Leipzig) presents works from the past three decades of his practice at the G2 Schaulager. Hachmeister brings together painting, ceramics, sculpture and photography, which are interwoven throughout the exhibition into a spatial system of references, offering a profound insight into his dense and multi-layered body of work.

In his artistic practice, Hachmeister repeatedly engages with gender roles, the clichés associated with them, and their transcendence. He also explores processes of identity search and formation within the tension between societal attributions and constructions. These themes are approached from a range of perspectives. In doing so, Hachmeister reinterprets objects laden with traditional and ideological meaning or imbues them with new content, thereby shifting their significance and generating new, autonomous narratives.

Hachmeister creates his own visual worlds and cosmologies that resist clear categorisation. Alongside these fictional image worlds, the artist repeatedly turns to representations of his own body, using photography to reflect upon the self from an external perspective. The interplay of these different visual strategies results in a complex diversity of forms of expression and viewpoints.

Harry Hachmeister (*1979 in Leipzig) studied  at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst) in the class of Timm Rautert from 1999 to 2007. His works are included in, among others, the following collections: Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Dresden State Art Collections; the Federal Republic of Germany’s Collection of Contemporary Art; and the Hildebrand Collection, Leipzig.
