Jeroen Jongeleen, Four Seasons Total Landscaping, in Two Acts, 2020
Running in circles features six video pieces of running artworks by Jeroen Jongeleen (Apeldoorn, 1967). When the city parks are closed or access-restricted during the Coronavirus lockdowns, Jongeleen decides to reduce his running track to a circle with a diameter of twelve metres. In deserted areas where he is allowed to run – the roof of his studio building in Rotterdam, the Maasvlakte, the Oosterscheldekering in Zeeland or a grassy field near the Kröller-Müller Museum – he runs his circles, leaving a temporary trail of his exertions. A drone films the solitary, intimate performances of the artist caught in a hamster wheel of his own creation.
