Drawings by Dwayne Jahn and art videos by Dwayne and Ebba Jahn exhibited in Duisburg, Germany a part of 45. Duisburger Akzente from March 2nd, 2024 until April 5th, 2024.
Ebba and Dwayne Jahn | No Invasion
In the exhibition, the Jahn family showed, among other things, their joint short films - with texts and original drawings by son Dwayne; video production by mother Ebba Jahn.
Dwayne: "I wanted to make a series of abstract pencil drawings in 16:9 video format and wanted to focus on concepts that were important to me and that I could immerse myself in. Ultimately, I was trying to process and overcome strokes of fate. The pencil drawings were video-labelled with my poem and accompanied by the double bass quintet SEQUOIA thanks to Klaus Kürvers. The result was art video poem No Invasion (premiered at the oldest video poetry festival Videobardo in the National Library of Buenos Aires, Argentina).
After some time I was done with the grey pencil and ready to change my medium, again abstract, this time with coloured pencils. Then I tried digital art with AI...."
Also exhibited were original drawings by Dwayne and other original videos by both.

PHASES - Art music video
We have created an art music video based on a proposed track by a film festival titled "Malaspina" by Raffaele Casarano, featuring Dhafer Youssef - oud, lyrics and voice. The visuals consist mainly of drawings by Dwayne Jahn, his 3rd art video. Tunesian jazz musician Dhafer Youssef's voice with Dwayne's recent Phases-Drawings are merging: "As a harmonious unison of heartfelt music, colorful drawings and serene film, PHASES touches upon themes of what we go through in life around the world when we introspect and let go. This video can be considered an abstracted representation of personal balance and the ongoing search for improvement". - Dwayne Jahn.

Video poem "Lightwaves Soundwaves" by Dwayne Jahn a part of the 2022 Cadence Video Poetry Festival.
Winner of the festival's award for best collaborative film.
The juror's statement about "Lightwaves Soundwaves":
It’s my interest in abstract conceptions and the mediums chosen to collaborate for this film that struck me, they have ambivalent qualities. The mediums are not out of reach, not too professional, or inaccessible, they are contemporary. A juxtaposition of painter, poet, and sound artistry creates an elemental, triptych trifecta.
The foreground features words, trance-like, playing to the ordinance of our mind’s eye.
The background is liminal, shape shifting, loud in color covered by foreboding moisture. Rain drops melt the colors, bonding with the water-based paint only to, slowly, erase the lines and form new shapes. At times, the illusion is that there is the possibility of a barrier, between the rain, the paintings and the words.
There is more going on in this film than it presents at first viewing. “Transcending cause and effect”. The words distract like a disillusionment to the painting: words in the foreground, painting in the background and sometimes the other way around. The sonic ripples harmonizing with the hypnotic ripples faintly overlaying the loud colors collaborating with the words; close ups of what could be influenced or had reminded me of a visit with Kandinsky. The psychedelic future is in this film, pushing sensorial limits, a cinematic synesthesia with its purpose seemingly not to eliminate the sense of senses but combine them into a dreamlike harmony.
