decollecting

"decollecting explores collections as starting points for artistic research. The power of classifi cations becomes visible in the reorganized image archives by Dijkman (b. 1978) and Piller (b.1968)" - Annette Schemmel

For this exhibition I presented a selection of images from categories that relate to the concept of the exhibition. These images are put together on the wall without clear deliniations. A poster with all the categories of Gestures in French gave insight in the  present categories by underlining the ones present in the piece. Together with this presentation and a lecture on image archiving the first draft of the online representation of the archive Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was launched.
