IS THIS THING ON?
@officemagazinenyc ISSUE 12 RELEASE AND PHOTO SHOW
03 JUNE – 10 JUNE 2020
OPENING: 03 JUNE, 6 – 10 PM LINK IN BIO [A mouth-nose cover is mandatory to enter the gallery. No more than 2 people are allowed in the space at the same time. Please keep a distance of at least 1,5 meters to another person.] We are pleased to introduce our 10th exhibitor Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek. He will be showcasing his exhibition in collaboration with Emilia Margulies and Office magazine from New York at TRIBES.convo.
For the office magazine Issue 12 Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek has entered the world of the unknown to ask, “Is This Thing On?” To capture the sex toys in their most organic form, Daniel and Emilia Margulies (set designer) focused on shooting the objects in a documentary approach. To celebrate the release of the issue 12, on June 3 select copies of the magazine will be sold at our gallery. Additionally, the duo will be sharing an installation that features the IRL toys, so you can see, feel and touch the objects and the texture.
Koekkoek's photography crosses borders of new documentation, fashion, art and commerce. In his work he loves to play with that genres and combine them - always with a sense of humour. Most recently he shot the new Jeans campaign for Helmut Lang with horse boys at the beach in Ghana. He is also very well known for his art projects "Jumping Cats" and "Better Living With Alpacas".

![The next artist of our new TRIBES.convo series is @thomas_mandl a photographer and activist from Munich. He is mainly working with political or social initiatives and campaigns and passionate about reportage and portrait photography.
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON AT THE MOMENT?
Most of my work is focused on political or social issues and my latest project, which I just published this week is a portrait series on the heroes in the hospital with the aim to show the paradox of them being visible only now wearing masks and society will probably forget about them as soon as Covid-19 is over. I have tried a lot to get publications for the project this week (frustration moments). Of course I also spent some time with my project One World Flag and I have some first prototypes for a larger production in Asia coming in soon. But to be honest I spent most of my time this week to renovate my home and get rid of a lot of things and I have been using the time during lockdown for almost daily workout sessions. I also spent a lot of time with myself and reflecting and enjoying just being. I went for night walks almost every night, sometimes with one or two beers and those hours were the most creative hours during my week. I want to get better at just being without the pressure to perform. I had some ups and downs during this Corona time and many melancholic days, but I will go out of this lockdown stronger and more focused, some sort of Thomas 3.0.
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR AT THE MOMENT?
To be honest I have many small fears creeping into my days, the fear of not doing enough, the fear of not being enough, fear of being alone. But I guess my biggest fear is the fear of wasting my time, like I mentioned before. Years going by without the change I wanted or without the dreams I have, coming true. One thing I noted during this week in my notebook was the following: Thomas, don’t look at the things you can do within a day, but at the things you can do within a week. Don’t look at the things you can achieve in a year, but the things you can achieve in 10 years! I am aware of my fears and the lies in my life and I want to overcome them.

AN WAS ARBEITEST DU ZURZEIT?
Seit drei Wochen treffe ich mich weiterhin mit Menschen, allerdings sehr selektiv. Wie denn auch nicht wenn man verantwortungsbewusst sein möchte. Ich mache das gleiche was ich auch vor den Einschränkungen gemacht habe, nur eben bedachter. Ob das korrekt ist sei frei gestellt. Seit knapp drei Wochen habe ich gefühlt mehr Zeit. Ich habe das große Problem, dass ich oft denke, nie genug Zeit zu haben für Dinge die ich dann oft eh nicht mache oder machen will. Als Kompensation bilde ich mir gerne ein, nichts zu tun aber nach Sonnenuntergang fühle ich meine alten und immer älter werdenden Knochen.
WAS IST ZURZEIT DEINE GROSSE ANGST?
Ich habe das Gefühl ich kann diese Antwort und auch das Interview nicht rund machen ohne mich zumindest einmal kurz dem Thema Corona zuzuwenden. Here we go:
Ich finde man hat nicht genug Zeit eingeräumt um zu schauen wie Menschen sich darauf einstellen und wie Menschen damit umgehen. Damit meine ich Angst, Paranoia und Isolation. Ich empfinde die Freiheitseinschränkungen als zu drastisch. Klar musste Angi ein Kompromiss finden zwischen Bund und Ländern aber man hätte weiterhin mit der Bevölkerung und vor allem nicht angsttreibend, sondern eben vernünftig reden müssen. Es waren weniger als 7 Tage zwischen Ansprache der Kanzlerin und den anschließenden einschränkenden Maßnahmen. Die Geschwindigkeit von Nachrichten und Medien war unglaublich. Kopfschmerzen1000.
Danach habe ich sehr viele Menschen gesehen die einfach eingeschüchtert und hilflos waren.
Prinzipiell, weil es eben kein letaler Virus ist wie Ebola, hätte man auf humanem Wege die Leute sich darauf einstellen lassen sollen. Das ist ein Risiko das keiner tragen will, das versteh ich. Bevor man aber grundlegende Strukturen unseres, sag ich mal „gesellschaftlichen Arrangements“ völlig einfriert - die Folgen die dadurch entstehen sind unmöglich abzusehen.
