20 Nov. 2024: 18:30 Guided tour of the exhibition with Sabine Hertig
In her current exhibition, which once again focuses on collage, Sabine Hertig invites us to a multi-layered media exploration of her artistic work. With « Overlook », the artist encourages reflection on the image as a changeable unit that oscillates between "overview" and "overlook", enabling ever new perspectives on the visible and the hidden. For Hertig, thinking in terms of collage means relating the parts and the whole to one another. But it also means contemplating the whole from the perspective of a single part: The collage as a « form of thought of reflected seeing ». With reference to the ambiguous exhibition title, « Overlook » plays with the tension between "seeing" and "overlooking" within and outside the classic image boundaries and thus reflects essential aspects of visual perception and art reception.
