Born 1989 in Bochum, Germany. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Jonas Brinker uses film and photography as tools of observation and contemplation. His patient cinematography is concerned with de-centering anthropocentric temporalities and outlining entangled Umwelten (environments). Trailing from a distance, he gently captures and reframes peripheries of tense environments through a marveling gaze.

About the exhibited work
Brinker makes a wolf the protagonist of his work. In Hanover he found a wild animal trainer who works with domesticated wolves to use them on film sets and for commercials. Brinker filmed a wolf in front of a green screen. The camera follows the behaviour of the animal, which is deliberately not instructed to act. Thus, the camera's eye scans the wolf's behaviour, which remains strangely suspended between its natural behaviour and a trained one.
