Yves Scherer gets “Closer” to the truth

On the surface of “Closer”, Yves Scherer invites us into the private lives of celebrity stars. Scherer exposes their personal vulnerabilities to the general public, reminding us all that celebrities are just as flawed, insecure, and self-conscious as you or I. But digging deeper, you soon realise that the truth is not so simple. The narrative behind the artist’s latest exhibition at Berlin’s Guido W. Baudach Gallery touches on something much sadder.
