A special edition issue curated, designed and published by AVARIE, Paris, and Labor Neunzehn, Berlin. It accompanies the KAMERA programme while remaining an independent object to collect. The central idea that directs the montage of these small volumes is the interplay between addition and subtraction: a missing image from the projection, or an unreleased second taken from an artist's work, expanded over twenty-four pages, with a piece removed directly from the show enclosed in every copy. The editing sets up a dialogue between frames and performed writings drawn from texts, scripts, storyboards and notes, so that the exhibition is extended into a physical space.
KAMERA is a programme of experimental moving images and printed matter held in a former GDR building in Berlin. Each event shows a retrospective of one artist over four days, alongside a small display of their publications or works on paper, and sets out to foster a critical dialogue between different formats.
Luise Schröder is a visual artist living between Germany and France. In her multimedia work she deals with the construction of history and with the concept of memory and their significance for the present. Central to her concerns is the question of how far official commemoration is influenced by political, social and media developments, and how that feeds back into identities and communities. She does not regard the past as a discrete entity, but as something permanently open and in direct relation to the present.
