He was strongly influenced by visual poetry. Gerz, who is also a philologist, is interested in how different forms of communication function in different media used for art. His books, performances, installations, photographs and videos are all distinctly critical in tone. Gerz investigates the reliability of word and image and reaches the conclusion that they both fail our expectations. According to him, neither language nor image refer unambiguously to one single reality. In the 1980s he made a whole series of \u0026lsquo;photographic texts\u0026rsquo;, combining photographs with narrative text. Mostly they had nothing to do with each other. These works have no titles, just a number to evoke a sense of objectivity.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eVanaf de jaren 1960 zocht \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.gerz.fr/\"\u003eJochen Gerz\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e, zoals heel wat andere kunstenaars van zijn generatie, naar een artistieke integratie van tekst en beeld. Hierbij werd hij sterk be\u0026iuml;nvloed door de visuele po\u0026euml;zie. Gerz, die tevens taalkundige is, onderzocht het functioneren van verschillende vormen van communicatie in diverse artistieke media. Zijn boeken, performances, installaties, foto- en videowerk hebben allen een sterke kritische inslag. Gerz onderzoekt de betrouwbaarheid van woord en beeld en komt tot de conclusie dat beiden zeer gebrekkige media zijn. Zowel taal als beeld verwijzen volgens hem niet eenduidig naar \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n werkelijkheid. In de jaren 1980 maakte hij een hele reeks \u0026lsquo;foto-teksten\u0026rsquo;, waarbij hij foto\u0026rsquo;s combineert met een narratieve tekst. In de meeste gevallen staan beide volledig los van elkaar. De werken hebben geen titel, enkel een nummer, waardoor een schijn van objectiviteit wordt gewekt.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"","place":"Berlin","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"","place":"","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}}]}
