Monika Huber: Archiv Einsdreissig [German]

By Monika Huber

One minute and thirty seconds is the average length allotted to a news feature. For more than ten years, artist Monika Huber has been photographing images from daily news reports that bear witness to protest, riots, war and violence, as well as their consequences. She saves the images digitally, prints them out and reworks them by means of painting and drawing. Over the years, an archive has been created; it reveals a "grammar" of news images and invites us to examine the crisis reporting of television news in a critical way. This selection of over 100 images from the archive is accompanied by contributions positioning Archive OneThirty from art-historical, philosophical, political-scientific and journalistic perspectives.
