Beschrijving

Tent. Bedburg-Hau, Museum Schloss Moyland, 28-07-2013, 24-11-2013. - Monografie toont een breed overzicht van het werk van de Tsjechische kunstenares Katharina Sieverding (Praag 1944). - Since the late 1960s, acclaimed Czech experimental photographer Katharina Sieverding has worked with photography, film, video and slide projections to address political and ecological concerns as well as the construction of identity. This catalogue surveys her career, documenting in particular her newest project, "Looking at the Sun at Midnight." For this piece, Sieverding downloaded about 100,000 images of the surface of the sun made by NASA between May 2010 and June 2013, condensing them into a dynamic portrait of its surface. In this volume this new work is placed in dialogue with a representative selection of series from 1968 to 2013.
