Edith Kollath
This monograph is the first book to present a comprehensive survey of Edith Kollath's oeuvre and illustrates her strategic use of diverse media, including video, installation, objects, and paper. Six lenticular prints-personally inserted by the artist-offer an immediate experience of the movements or metamorphoses of selected installations.
Respiration Essays
Kontingenz erscheint auf der Schwelle zwischen Sein und Nichtsein. Sie bezeichnet sowohl das Unkalkulierbare, das gewollte Handlungen durchkreuzt, als auch den frei wählbaren Möglichkeits- und Entscheidungsraum. In Kunstwerken begegnet uns Kontingenz im Entstehungsprozess, in der Wahl der künstlerischen Strategien und Techniken sowie im kontextabhängigen Präsentations- und Rezeptionsprozess: Könnte alles auch ganz anders sein? Was darüber in Erfahrung zu bringen ist, verfolgt Edith Kollath mit ihrer ästhetisch-respiratorischen Methode, körperdurchdringend, rhythmisch und rekursiv. Ausgehend von einer dynamischen Installation werden in einer Denk- und Atembewegung theoretische sowie praktische Perspektiven eines künstlerischen Forschungsprozesses miteinander verschränkt.
Bookwork
“There they rest, inert, impertinent, in gallery space—those book forms either imitated or mutilated, replicas of reading matter or its vestiges. Strange, after its long and robust career, for the book to take early retirement in a museum, not as rare manuscript but as functionless sculpture. Readymade or constructed, such book shapes are canceled as text when deposited as gallery objects, shut off from their normal reading when not, in some yet more drastic way, dismembered or reassembled.” So begins Bookwork, which follows our passion for books to its logical extreme in artists who employ found or simulated books as a sculptural medium. Investigating the conceptual labor behind this ...
Atem / Breath
During breathing – in the process of constant exchange and crossing of boundaries between the organism and its environment – air as an «immaterial» material becomes active. For the first time, this anthology brings together studies on breath from the perspective of the arts and humanities, as well as experimental scientific and design practices. Focusing on the period from 1900 to the present day, the publication covers an era during which air has become a precarious medium: whether in the context of climate change or global pandemic, space technology or gas warfare, air is now co-created and manipulated by humans. Against this backdrop, breath appears as an elusive yet vital substance that reveals the interconnections between the physical, symbolic, technological and social realms.

The Anthropocenic Turn
This interdisciplinary volume discusses whether the increasing salience of the Anthropocene concept in the humanities and the social sciences constitutes an "Anthropocenic turn." The Anthropocene discourse creates novel conceptual configurations and enables scholars to re-negotiate and re-contextualize long-established paradigms, premises, theories and methodologies. These innovative constellations stimulate fresh research in many areas of thought and practice. The contributors to this volume respond to the proposition of an "Anthropocene turn" from the perspective of diverse research fields, including history of science, philosophy, environmental humanities and political science as well as literary, art and media studies. Altogether, the collection reveals to which extent the Anthropocene concept challenges deep-seated assumptions across disciplines. It invites readers to explore the wealth of scholarly perspectives on the Anthropocene as well as unexpected inter- and transdisciplinary connections.
