Description
Summary:
In her work, the photo artist Catrine Val addresses the role of women in diverging cultural and political systems. The project Jetzt. Memory Unsettled is based on the statement of a ninety-four-year-old woman in which she compares the loss of all her belongings in a flood with memories of the experiences of war in her youth, from which she has never recovered. The vulnerability of our existence, but also the power to believe in the future and to fight for it unreservedly, to create a new feeling of security, is the topic of this publication. The project has obtained a particularly urgency against the backdrop of the current displaced persons situation. Authors from various disciplines shed light on the photographs from the perspective of philosophy, history, or image theory, and show how intermeshed our here and now is with the past as well as the future.0// 0Die Fotokünstlerin Catrine Val beschäftigt sich in ihrem Werk mit der Rolle der Frau innerhalb divergierender kultureller und politischer Systeme. Das Projekt Jetzt. Memory Unsettled basiert auf der Aussage einer 94-jährigen Dame, in der diese den Verlust ihres gesamten Besitzes durch die Flut mit den nie verschmerzten Erinnerungen an die Kriegserlebnisse ihrer Jugend vergleicht. Die Verletzbarkeit unserer Existenz aber auch die Kraft, an die Zukunft zu glauben und bedingungslos dafür zu kämpfen, neue Geborgenheit zu schaffen, ist Thema dieser Publikation. Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Flüchtlingssituation erhält das Projekt eine besondere Brisanz. Die Autor*innen unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen beleuchten die Fotografien unter philosophischen, historischen aber auch bildtheoretischen Aspekten und zeigen, wie verzahnt unser Hier und Jetzt mit der Vergangenheit aber auch der Zukunft ist.
