Monika Huber

For more than ten years, Monika Huber has been photographing images from daily news reports that bear witness to protest, riots, war and violence. She saves the images digitally, prints them out and reworks them by means of painting and drawing. This archive reveals a grammar of news images, inviting us to examine crisis reporting in a critical way. This selection of over 100 images considers the art-historical, philosophical, political-scientific and journalistic perspectives of Archive OneThirty.With contributions by Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, James W. Davis, Antje Kapust, Ute Schaeffer, Ulrich Wilmes, and an introduction by Bernhart Schwenk
