Jonathan Lethem

(Geb. 1964 in New York City, NY) 

Ebdus abjures the comparison to the Wittgenstein-like protagonist of Thomas Bernhard’s Correction, who labors for years in the forest constructing a mysterious, unseen »cone«, just as he rejects any conceptual or philosophical reduction of the essentially material, »painterly« nature of his exploration. All in Ebdus’s work proceeds from the purely physical nature of pigment on celluloid, and of light through the gate of a projector.
