Nadine Isabelle Henrich: Into the Unseen, Gebunden

Blurb

Into the Unseen unsettles our understanding of photography through a multisensory approach that engages the aKective dimensions of this complex medium. Organized into six chapters that correspond to individual sections of the exhibition, the book guides readers through diKerent sensorial encounters with photographic media. "Frequencies of Darkness" explores darkness as a hinge point between documentation and imagination, psychic and physical space, life and the afterlife. "Holding Everyday Life" focuses on the photo album as a haptic object made to be touched and held. "Listening to the Land" contemplates the physical and ephemeral traces of trauma and resistance in decolonized landscapes. "Tracing Sediments" explores the fragile texture of images that carry physical inscriptions of histories of loss, damage, dispersal, recovery, and reclamation. "Tasting, Touching, Feeling" focuses on the work of artists who push the boundaries of perception, pain, and social norms. Finally, "Sensing Time" asks us to see, think, and feel change from a non-human perspective. This publication is the catalog for Deichtorhallen Hamburg's critically acclaimed exhibition, Into the Unseen: The Walther Collection, and includes an introduction by Artur Walther, along with essays by Henrich, Campt, and Shawn Michelle Smith, and artistic contributions by Ana María Gómez López, and Felipe Romero Beltrán.
