In case we meet, ou l'hypothèse improbable posée tel le vœu désabusé d'une unité à jamais perdue : Celle de la rencontre de l'artiste et du public, de l'original et de sa reproduction, de l'être et de son image, de l'un et de l'autre. Sous cette formule sont rassemblées les réalisations de jochen gerz qui, depuis 1969, utilisent la vidéo en tant que moyen d'enregistrement, support d'une image dont la performance est le lieu critique, voire en tant qu'élément d'installations ou de «comptes rendus» de mises en situation du public par l'artiste. Paradoxe du rapport à l'outil chez un artiste qui n'hésite pas à piéger, dans l'œuvre même, l'imposture des médias. Jochen gerz, artiste vidéo ? Inclassable jochen gerz.

In case we meet, or the unlikely hypothesis put forward like the disillusioned wish of a lost forever unity : That of the meeting between the artist and the audience, between the original and its reproduction, the being and his image, the one and the other. This expression sums up jochen gerz's works ; Since 1969 he has been using video as a means of taping, as a medium for pictures where performance is the critical locus, not to say as an element of installations or "report" of the artist's setting the audience "onstage". The artist has established a paradoxical link with tools and doesn't hesitate to trap the media's deception in his own work. Is jochen gerz a video artist ? Jochen gerz cannot be classified.
