In the context of the exhibition, the image of “double exposure,” borrowed from the field of analogue photography, serves as a metaphor for processes of memory politics that are explored and transformed through randomly found images or specific viewings of archives. What does it mean to expose oneself repeatedly to inscription? Four very different artistic practices are juxtaposed here; each of them employs individual methods that visually (re)write unavailable or repressed experience and, in doing so, react to the dispositives of the respective media and the aesthetics of the image.

While Sara-Lena Maierhofer’s photographic works initiate a process of reflection on questions of documentation and the evaluation of (colonial) archives, Sim Chi Yin’s multimedia practice illuminates the complex, transnational political entanglements of colonialism and its traumatic effects on (family) biographies and expands the intergenerational process of memory work. Through procedures of positioning and montage, Rebekka Bauer’s mixed-media installation Die Aufstellung (The Constellation, 2020–present) searches for clues as to how unprocessed history and violence carry through family biographies and leave their mark on bodies and relationships. In their joint artistic research work DNCB (2021), Oliver Husain and Kerstin Schroedinger combine material experiments, historical research, and performance to uncover a little-known history of research and movement that is uniquely linked to the history of analogue photography.

The group exhibition will be integrated as a spatial intervention in parts of the previous exhibition Exposure and will resonate with the remaining works.
