2025Commissioned work for “String Theory String Practice“ exhibition at Kunstraum Leuphana in Germany – November 2025.
[weaving] becomes the next instalment in Jaron’s ongoing INTERLACEDISORDER series of glitched digital videos created in a pursuit of discovering unseen audiovisual experiences based on digital glitches and personal experience. His process relies mostly on a method called “HEX-editing” where the code of video files is deliberately and irreversibly altered.
[weaving]
Ever since going abroad to Hong Kong for two years as part of my double-degree at Leuphana, life has been split between two places almost opposite to each other on the globe. This experience sparked fundamental questions about belonging and home and what it means to be entangled in two separate social and cultural contexts. And while this experience vastly broadened my perception and understanding of the world, and even more so of myself, the physical distance between both places kept them ultimately separate parts of my life.
This work is one of multiple attempts to bridge this distance, bringing experiences of both places closer together. By inserting my written thoughts directly into the code of my archival videos in a process called HEX-editing, I try to make visible the act of injecting myself into foreign contexts and its irreversible consequence on me on a digital level.
The process can be compared to the workings of early automated looms, where the resulting pattern of a fabric becomes unpredictable when errors are introduced to the hole-punch cards giving the machine its instructions. The code of the videos is disturbed in a similar way, diverting from the desired pattern of naturalistic playback of a recording. Disturbing and rearranging the algorithmic instructions needed for digital decoding of video files glitches these videos out in unpredictable ways reflecting the sudden changes in my own perception of self and thought-to-be-known frameworks of life when entering new environments.
This work stands as an invitation to re-find structure in these disturbances where we may discover a more accurate representation of life in its chaotic and often unrecognisable nature, though always inheriting an unmistakable beauty in its flaws and errors.

Giving insights into his work and development as an artist, painter turned sculptor Tronje Thole van Ellen talks to EXCESS during the construction of his newest pair of sculptures now on show at Massoumi Gallery in Hamburg.
Built from his portfolio of old and new paintings, two several meters tall towers, or trees, extend towards the glass roof of the old Stadthöfe complex. With paintings from all periods of his career, spanning almost a decade, Tronje also reflects on his growth as an artist and the changes his practice went through over the years, especially after recently becoming a father.
The exhibition will be live until the end of June, 2025.
Während des Baus seines neuesten Skulpturenpaares in der Massoumi Gallery in Hamburg, gibt der vom Maler zum Bildhauer gewordene Künstler Tronje Thole van Ellen im Gespräch mit EXCESS Einblicke in seine Arbeit und seine künstlerische Entwicklung.
Aus seinem Portfolio an alten und neuen Gemälden gebaut, erstrecken sich zwei mehrere Meter hohe Türme, oder Bäume, in Richtung des Glasdachs der alten Stadthöfe. Mit Gemälden aus sämtlichen Phasen seiner Karriere, die sich über fast ein Jahrzehnt erstrecken, reflektiert Tronje auch über seine Entwicklung als Künstler und die Veränderungen, die seine Praxis im Laufe der Jahre durchlaufen hat, insbesondere nachdem er kürzlich Vater geworden ist.
Die Ausstellung wird bis Ende Juni 2025 zu sehen sein.

color where non should be
The material used in analog photography and printing usually serves a single purpose. They are engineered to precision over the years to make results as reproducable and the materials as reliable as possible for professional use. With black and white photographic paper the obvious goal is a quality, black and white print. Inherent to black and white
printing is the abscence of color, manifested physically by the abscence of color emulsion in the paper itself.
This series of three chemigrams explores what happens when the path of intended use and procedure is left and instead the malfunctions and limitations of the materials become the main focus of investigation. For the final three works only the standard chemicals and papers for black and white printing are used to create the opposite of what they‘re intended to produce, to create color, where non should be. -
