Laura Horelli

Résumé du livre

This comprehensive catalogue documents for the first time the broad oeuvre of the artist Laura Horelli. In addition to text-based works and photographs, Laura Horelli in particular uses video as a medium, sometimes also in multi-channel video installations.In her research she focuses on communicative processes and their media, political and social requirements in the globalized world.Horelli's conceptual objective is to approach 'reality' in a subjective way, in order to excerpt urban environments, events and relationships from her past and current residences from their original contexts and to link them in a new way.This creates an intertext, which connects the different courses of time as well as their subtexts, and at the same time undermines the documentary-representative.Published on the occasion of Horelli's solo exhibition at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), Berlin, 29 November 2011 - 20 January 2012.English and German text.
