Filmstill
The Danish artist Jesper Just (*1974, Copenhagen) primarily works with the medium of short film, in which he skillfully weaves images and music into episodes with richly expressive atmospheres. Simultaneously complex and pervaded by melancholy, Just sketches deeply intimate emotions and interpersonal relationships on very different levels.

The exhibition will be shown simultaneously at four venues in Europe. For the first time, an extensive range of Just’s filmic work will be presented to an international audience at the Ursula Blickle Foundation, Kraichtal, Witte de With, Rotterdam, ursula blickle videolounge at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, and SMAK, Gent. Along with his most recent work, the trilogy It Will All End In Tears, the show will also present many of his earlier productions. In addition, Just will produce a new film especially for the exhibition. Thus the audience will be given a comprehensive look at the artist’s entire oeuvre.
