ReImagine Appalachia

Jessica Backhaus
In her last publication Trilogy (Kehrer), Jessica Backhaus has taken a path into abstraction, which is consistently continued here - with analog, photographic methods. Cut out transparent paper reacts to the heat of intense sunlight, deforms, rises, and casts shadows. The photographer who arranged and staged these compositions becomes an astonished observer of events on which she has only limited influence, the documentarist of a visual experimental arrangement, a poetic choreography of intense colors in the sunlight. This artist book is published in an edition of 750 signed copies.
Die Filme der Jessica Hausner
Jessica Hausner (geb. 1972) zählt zu den renommiertesten Filmemacher_innen ihrer Zeit. Längst hat sich die Regisseurin und Drehbuchautorin auf internationalem Parkett verdient gemacht, ihr Name wird heute in einem Atemzug mit Regiedoyens wie Stanley Kubrick und Michael Haneke genannt. Ihre Filme wurden vielfach gelobt, zahlreiche Male prämiert und von Kritiker_innen aus aller Welt hinlänglich besprochen. Trotzdem wird man auf der Suche nach substanziellen Publikationen zu ihren Werken bislang kaum fündig. Sabrina Gärtner liefert erstmals eine Zusammenschau des bislang aus zehn filmischen Projekten bestehenden Œuvres – von "Flora" (1997) bis "Little Joe" (2019). Sie arbeitet die Besonderheiten der außergewöhnlichen Hausner'schen Filmsprache heraus und verortet das Schaffen der Österreicherin in Beziehung zu ›Nouvelle Vague Viennoise‹, Berliner Schule und weiteren transnationalen Netzwerken. Ausführliche Berücksichtigung finden die märchenhaften Elemente ihrer Filmerzählungen wie beispielsweise die ambivalenten Mutterfiguren, wirkmächtige Requisiten oder das Motiv des ›sprechenden‹ Tiers.
What Still Remains
A photo-series made up of 65 works which explore how lost and forgotten objects have a tendency to then re-appear in specific places, taking on a life of their own. Backhaus has succeeded in capturing motifs that exude both a sense of the enigmatic and the sublime. The readers gaze is tranfixed as they unravel the mystery of what makes these banal objects hold such intrigue. Reminiscent of still-lifes and yet accidental in their compostion, Backhaus turns the arbitary and organic into palpable frames.

Childhood, Citizenship, and the Anthropocene
The planet is dying. Our earth’s climate has reached a point where it can no longer regulate itself. Fires, floods, and natural disasters are sweeping countries across the world. What does it mean to be a child citizen in the Anthropocene? Can we teach children a posthuman civics that can care for the more-than-human world? Extending on the concepts of ‘little publics’ and ‘posthuman citizenships’, this book progresses these notions with a view to modelling, and better understanding, posthuman publics and civics. Using experimental methodologies, the authors develop original, robust ways of understanding children's subcultural civic practices founded on care for the more than human.
