Abstract

The presentation focuses on my work and exhibition “Image Cycle” (2021), which was realized as part of International Photoszene’s “Artist Meets Archive #2” project in cooperation with Rheinisches Bildarchiv, Cologne. Starting from the exhibition site, my presentation traces the history of the archive’s relocations over the past 100 years, drawing upon a network of references resonating within the work.
