Mapping the Invisible Layers of Society

German filmmaker and video artist Clemens von Wedemeyer opens his first solo exhibition in Seoul at the Meyer Riegger Wolff Gallery in November 2025. Titled “Social Geometry”, the exhibition features an immersive multimedia installation that explores the dynamics of social relationships. It examines how these structures shape our physical and digital environment and how they can be made visible diagrammatically.

To further elaborate the conceptual framework, Clemens von Wedemeyer invites you to the panel discussion “Mapping the Invisible Layers of Society” which will take place in the hall of the Goethe-Institut Korea on November 22, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Together with guest panelists Paolo Caffoni and Ihun Jo, the discussion will delve deeper into the central themes of the exhibition.

Clemens von Wedemeyer studied photography and media in Bielefeld and Leipzig and has been professor of film and cinema arts at Leipzig University of the Arts since 2013. His works have been presented at documenta, the Biennale of Sydney, in MoMA PS1 in New York, in the Barbican Art Centre in London, and at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Paolo Caffoni is a PhD candidate at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. His research focuses on media philosophy, language, and semiotics, with a special emphasis on artificial intelligence.

Ihun Jo is an artist and designer whose practice engages with technological criticism, myth-making, and art. She is currently participating in a research program at Powerplant Seoul and is an artist-in-residence at the Haja Center and a participant of Forking Room 2025.

The panel talk is moderated by curator Nari Sarmini and is held in English with Korean translation. It is organized by the Meyer Riegger Wolff gallery with support from the Goethe-Institut Korea.
