In the series "I only know Mifune and Kitano," Matthias Klos explores the effect of cultural clichés: personal associations such as crafts, paper, manga, samurai, Mifune and Kitano come together to evoke a "feeling of Japan" for which silhouettes seem to be a suitable medium of artistic communication. Drawn intuitively without preliminary sketches in a single continuous, concentrated step requiring high precision, they are mirror-image patterns created along the folded middle axis that fluctuate between ornamental abstraction and mask-like silhouette. Conceptualized by the artist as pictograms of a self-referential cultural iconography, they have a private character whose informational content can only be indirectly translated. They are derived from the Japan of cinema, of origami and comics, in short: from the cultural exports that tell us something about a country even if we've never been there. In the title, the artist mercilessly mocks his own (lack of) knowledge, which comes from the entertainment industry and popular culture, fiction and lore, but is also guided by ethnological interest and ultimately based on his own second-hand experience. At the same time, they are aesthetic objects that borrow from an artistic tradition of paper cutting that reached Europe centuries ago from Asia (among other places) and underwent a process of cultural transmission. Long regarded as a women's craft or traveling artists' work and only granted the status of art in modern times, the silhouette as a method of drawing on paper literally brings to completion the dividing line that marks the border between a figure and its background and allows it to be perceived.
