Lot Essay
‘In the desert of metal and axles, Klasen’s gaze – revived from
injury, distress lingering – arrives. With a precise viewpoint,
including that of the camera, he offers snippets of the world that
will be sorted, arranged; and that, at the end, come towards us,
as blocks of meaning, drawing our attention to these tarpaulins,
joysticks, steering wheels, axles, tight ropes – those sexual
fragments of our bodies, scraps of stubborn enjoyment that break
the desert’s senselessness and relentless absence’
