Synopsis

Ricarda Roggans new show Apokrypen formulates the question: Can a photograph hold and communicate the original auras of everyday objects? She questions the owner-object relation in a series of black-and-white photographs of individual objects, such as a bowl or a glove, a watch or a knife, once belonging to a cultural figure from the past two hundred years. Each object occupies a condensed and poeticized space that is re-presented in this two-volume exhibition catalog. The larger catalog, also printed in black and white, presents each photographed object titled only with the owners name and object. A smaller compendium accompanying the catalog documents the history of each object and owner. A unique feature of the larger exhibition catalog is the fold-out cover that functions as a visual index of the information in the compendium. Contributors include exhibition curator Ute Stuffer and theorist Hubertus von Amelunxen.
