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 Hanne Darboven. Am Burgberg by Julia Gaisbacher is 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 piece is the result of on-site research in Hamburg-Harburg between 2022-2023. Julia Gaisbacher has approached Hanne Darboven’s home with photographic and cinematic methods and conducted interviews with various companions for this artistic research.
