Ausstellungstitel auch engl.: Eva Leitolf : German images - looking for evidence
This full-color, large-format book of apparently bucolic scenes is, in fact, an indictment of the persistence of racism and xenophobia in today's Germany. Opposite each lovely photo of an ancient, half-timbered building, a verdant lawn or a neatly manicured plaza, Eva Leitolf tells the true story of a racist incident that took place there. On the beach in Heringsdorf, in 2004, a group of men and women assaulted teenagers from Berlin, one of whom was dark-skinned and called a negro slut during the attack. In a plaza in Wriezen in 2004, a mentally disabled man of Arab ancestry was verbally attacked and then stabbed with a sharp object. The contrast between the peaceful settings, empty of people, and the hateful scenes that took place there makes for a thought provoking and challenging discourse regarding race and discrimination.
Postcards from Europe 03/13
In Postcards from Europe Eva Leitolf examines how European societies relate to the European Union's external borders and the associated internal conflicts. Combining documentary and conceptual stategies, the artist explores the tension between what can be seen and what is left to the imagination, testing the possibilities and limits of visual representation. Since 2006 the project has taken Leitolf to Spain and the Spanish exclaves of Melilla and Ceuta in Morocco, to the Hungarian border with Ukraine, to the Channel ports of Calais and Dover, to Italy and Greece.
Image/Con/Text
Bei der Kombination von Bild und Text gibt es unterschiedlichste kommunikative Strategien. Im Medium Fotobuch, aber auch in Film, Multimedia und Comic eröffnen aktuelle journalistische und künstlerische Positionen neue Perspektiven für Fotojournalismus und Dokumentarfotografie. So wird unser konventionelles Verständnis der dokumentarischen Form erweitert. Arbeiten von Laia Abril, Max Pinckers, Eva Leitolf oder auch Jean-Luc Godard werden in diesem Band vorgestellt. Sie betonen die Kontextualität von Fotografie und zeigen, dass sich Bedeutung nur in dem komplexen Zusammenspiel von Bildern, Texten und Dokumenten erschließen lässt.

The Mobility of Memory
Migration is most concretely defined by the movement of human bodies, but it leaves indelible traces on everything from individual psychology to major social movements. Drawing on extensive field research, and with a special focus on Italy and the Netherlands, this interdisciplinary volume explores the interrelationship of migration and memory at scales both large and small, ranging across topics that include oral and visual forms of memory, archives, and artistic innovations. By engaging with the complex tensions between roots and routes, minds and bodies, The Mobility of Memory offers an incisive and empirically grounded perspective on a social phenomenon that continues to reshape both Europe and the world.
