Geschichten des Widerstands
Mit Texten von Sibylle Berg, Tanja Maljartschuk, Milo Rau, Corinne Riedener, Hans Widmer
Im Oktober 2020 findet eine Studentin im Nachlass ihrer verstorbenen Tante ein Büchlein mit rätselhaften Einträgen. Wie sich zeigt, haben fünf Frauen im Zeitraum von 1877 bis 1992 und an Brennpunkten wie der Russischen und der Deutschen Revolution, dem Spanischen Bürgerkrieg und den Jugoslawienkriegen ihre Erlebnisse und Gedanken in das Notizbuch eingetragen. Ihre Berichte und Gedanken drehen sich um die Frage des Widerstands, wenn eine Welt am Abgrund steht.
Konzept und Realisierung von den ZHdK-Kulturpublizistikstudierenden Maurin Baumann, Mara Djukaric, Josia Haab, Leonie Haschler und Daphne Kalafati unter der Begleitung von Basil Rogger und Ruedi Widmer. Gestaltung von Jonas Wandeler, Atlas Studio.
Photography and Writing as an Experience, Experiment and Insight
The focus of this narrative-analytical text-photo-montage is the so-called Wendezeit in East Germany, the years after the reunification and the individual and collective outbreaks of violence that accompanied thisradical change. Based on personal experiences and trained on literary and theoretical works such as Alexander Kluge’s Lebensläufe, Klaus Theweleit’s Männerphantasien or W.G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz, Kai Ziegner reflects on remembrance and testimony in a way that is as critical as it is experimental.

A Scientific and Artistic Catalog
What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles.
The artist as entrepreneur has become a common topic of discussion. Here, however, we put forward the notions of “self” and “system.” First, every artistic practice is self-reflexive and self-contextualizing. Second, each system an artist builds allows for innovation. Let’s construct a space where we inevitably find ourselves together with others, even if we feel lonely, like a witch lost in a library of artists’ books. Let’s invent our right to do so. Let’s enter the world of smell and write about a megalomaniac art school while documenting a generation of art students and their studios with analogue photography. How does anyone even manage—from making objects to performing one’s own existence? Device, organon, animal.
