Perplexities

vorherige ISBN 978-3-86895-302-2 Ricarda Denzer’s art explores issues of translation within the fields of society and culture. In doing so, she is equally interested in both the spoken word and its setting in the exchange of information and cultural goods. Using a variety of different media, such as text, interview, sound, video, architecture and diverse recording techniques, she has developed interwoven projects and installations whose themes revolve around narratives of development processes and shifts in the global art world, working conditions, as well as abstract forms in the transmission of cultural reference systems. The medium of language forms the basis for all considerations here. The book contains an essay by Fouad Asfour on questions of the indexical and of opacity, numerous conversations on the artistic approach of Ricarda Denzer, interviews, text collages and audiovisual logs relating to various projects by the artists, as well as the presentation of a number of her recent works. Editors: Ricarda Denzer, Melanie Ohnemus, Nik Thoenen With an essay by Fouad Asfour, conversations between Ricarda Denzer and Melanie Ohnemus, an index, interviews and audio pieces.
