Hanne Darboven (1941-2009) is one of the outstanding artists of the 20th century, an attentive observer of her time and of the history and development of politics, culture and society. In the 1960s, she and her artist friends founded conceptual art; her central contribution was that she developed her own methods for depicting periods of time - days, months, years or even a century.
In the film, Julia Gaisbacher (*1983) approaches the place where Hanne Darboven lived and worked in the south of Hamburg: a complex of buildings in Rönneburg near Hamburg with the address Am Burgberg. At the centre is a studio house that she designed herself in 1973, which fits into a historic farmstead from the 17th century and has been expanded over decades to become a kind of treasure house. Based on a film by Hanne Darboven from 1981-1982, which she made for documenta 7, this 2022-2023 film approaches the buildings "Am Burgberg". In the early 1980s, the artist first filmed squares and streets in Hamburg-Harburg and then the rooms of her Camelot in parallel tracking shots for "Der Mond ist aufgegangen".
By reenacting the historical shots and movements of the camera, Julia Gaisbacher's film creates a histoire parallèle of the ensemble on the Burgberg: the images from 2023 trace the views from 1982. The music composed by Hanne Darboven for “Der Mond ist aufgegangen/The Moon is Risen”, Opus 7 for electronic organ, is also used in these passages. These passages are interwoven with an oral history on-site and the memories of the interviewees, Susanne Liebelt and Jörg Weil, of Hanne Darboven present the Burgberg as a complex chronotopos.
The unmanageable collection in Hanne Darboven's building complex becomes a poetic Thesauros through the film and Julia Gaisbacher's photographs - an artistic repository of work and memory.
But what remains of this collection of things after the artist's death? (Dietmar Rübel, 2023)

In the 1960s, Hanne Darboven (1941–2009) founded Conceptual Art with her artist friends. Within this context, she developed her own unique methods for representing time measurements – days, months, years or even a century.
The pieces by Julia Gaisbacher are dedicated to the specific location of this artistic practice: a cluster of buildings south of Hamburg, known as Am Burgberg. The central structure is the studio building that Darboven designed herself, embedded in a historic homestead, which has expanded into a type of treasure trove over the decades.
The two new pieces are the result of on-site research in Hamburg-Harburg between 2022-2023 and were produced for the dialogue exhibition at Kunstraum München in 2023. Julia Gaisbacher has approached Hanne Darboven’s home with photographic and cinematic methods and conducted interviews with various companions for this artistic research.
The photographic work comprises 36 panels with 328 images from Julia Gaisbacher‘s photographic archive, which she created in Hanne Darboven‘s house. At the same time, the work and the chosen method of presentation are a dialogue with and homage to Hanne Darboven.

My Dreamhouse is not a House is a long-term project by Julia Gaisbacher that focuses on the Austrian architect Eilfried Huth and one of the first, publicly funded participatory social housing projects in Austria from the 1970s. Huth developed a working method that allowed architects and future residents to collaborate on equal terms, resulting in single, occupant-designed houses within residential blocks. His projects were unique because no participatory approach was available outside the privately financed market in Austria at that time.
About 50 years later, Julia Gaisbacher started an artistic research project observing the results of Eilfried Huth’s architectural experiment. In interviews, she asked residents how they had experienced the participatory planning process and its impacts on the long-term living quality in these built environments and combined them with archive material. On a visual level she documented the unique facades of the houses each representing the owners.

What Remains!? is a long-term project that revolves around the planning of a large-scale urban development project in Zagreb, the civil protests against it and the situation after the success against the project.
Julia Gaisbacher's documentation follows the fragmented building history of the planned construction area as a formal guide to capture past and present uses and functions of the area. The dialogue with space and architecture does not become a sculptural end in itself, but rather an inventory of human needs for the use of space.

Let the Game Begin
2022, video, different photo sequencesThe research phase of the project was funded by Robert Bosch Stiftung & Literarisches Kolloquium Berlin
Exhibition view: solo exhibition at Akademie Graz, curated by Astrid Kury
“The work Let the Game Begin is part of the long-term project One Day You Will Miss Me of the artist Julia Gaisbacher about the real estate development project Belgrade Waterfront on the banks of the Sava River in the Serbian Capital. Since 2017, Julia Gaisbacher engaged with the complex contradictions of this investor project in order to condense the social, economic, political and ecological crises and conflicts of the present into exemplary visual metaphors. Using the example of reflections and illuminations, the construction project is unmasked with photos and video as a uniform aesthetic setting and message of capital.” Astrid Kury, 2022
