The Weird and the Eerie
For his latest exhibition at Klemm’s, The Weird and the Eerie, Renaud Regnery further advances his inquiry into the emotional and social conditions of modern and contemporary image production, presenting a new series of works that convey layered gestures in charcoal and photorealistic wallpaper. Drawing its title from the eponymous book by Mark Fisher, the exhibition unfolds Regnery’s ongoing interest in the unheimlich, inherited social conventions, their aesthetic manifestations, and the psychological questions they entail. Ultimately, The Weird and the Eerie is structured by a process of deconstruction—one that highlights how the symbolic elements of late capitalism’s visual language are entangled in human psychology, subjectivity, and sensitivity.
