Preview

The publication concludes Julia Gaisbacher's long-time exploration of Hanne Darboven's Künstlerinnenhaus and at the same time continues her own work on “dream houses.” The Viennese artist's photographs provide sensitive insights into Hanne Darboven's studios in the south of Hamburg. The five houses on the unique estate served as Darboven's living and working space for 40 years. To this day, the ensemble also functions as a treasury for thousands of artworks and objects. Gaisbacher's precisely composed black-and-white photo graphs of the rooms, whose seemingly chaotic abundance is also diametrically opposed to the strict order of Darboven's own works on paper, are brought together with color reproductions of the latter's annual art calendars. As such, the book offers an artistic dialog about time and space between the generations.
