Stefanie Seibold: A Reader [2006]
A READER is a visual collection of disparate materials, from photos to newspaper articles, drawings, posters, literary quotes, pop lyrics, propaganda slogans, manifestos, and the artist's own materials. The elements of A READER are combined trough several underlying themes and principles, with a particular attention on their gestural and performative values, as well as their utopian potentials.
The very way in which A READER is constructed activates its performative energies. A visual archive not only of storage and collection but also one that activates its elements and connects them. An indexed image atlas, that generates meaning and represents in itself the ideas of the performative: the work makes visible the processes of arrangement and structuring (as well as reading and looking), quasi as parallel to the content-transfers between signs and gestures, e.g. the markings of sex and gender.
A READER by Stefanie Seibold, Photograpy: Frans Vos, Production: Jo Frenken, Text Editing: Petra van der Jeught, Typography: Ralph Bauer.
