Ernst Pinossi Picture Show, Hypercorps Gallery, Brussels, Belgium, 2018
A performance, installation and a radio show by Dan Allon, Ari-Pekka Leinonen and Bert Jacobs. The work explores the music and life of an obscure and mysterious musician called Ernst Pinossi. The installation consists a radio shack, in which the trio reenact his music, show photographs from his life (a combined selected images of non-professional photography from the life of Allon, Leinonen and Jacobs), and wait for his arrival for an interview live in the studio. As the show goes it becomes unclear if he really exists, or is he a combination of the dark sides of the three.
