Condition: very good. Essays by Jean Fisher and Wilma Sütö. Amsterdam : De Appel, 1995. Orig. printed wrappers. 15 pp. : ills. 21x19 cm. Dutch & English text - This publication accompanied the 1995 exhibition at art gallery De Appel in Amsterdam, which brought together Rosângela Rennó, Marie José Burki, Vong Phaophanit, and Roy Villevoye. Curated by Edna van Duyn, the exhibition presented four artists whose practices critically examined photography, memory, cultural identity, and the politics of representation. The show ran from 17 February to 9 April 1995 and focused on how images function as carriers of social and historical meaning rather than as neutral documents. Rosângela Rennó (b. 1962, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) was already gaining international recognition in the 1990s for her conceptual use of found photographs and archival material. Instead of producing new images, Rennó worked with discarded or forgotten photographic archivessuch as police files, family albums, institutional records, and anonymous snapshotsto expose the power structures behind image production and circulation. Her installations often erase, crop, or partially conceal images, transforming them into traces of memory and loss. This exhibition introduced her critical archival approach to a wider European audience and helped establish her as a key figure in contemporary conceptual photography. Condition : very good copy.
