In the series ‚Nota‘ white sheets of paper are combined with remains of posters and paint on Beirut facades. Macro photographs of the resulting paper reliefs finally reveal the otherwise invisible perspective of the walls.
In the work of Juliane Tübke, the artist explores a printing technique of epigraphy that uses a specific type of paper to mechanically copy stone inscriptions. However, the stones that Tübke uses for her impressions do not carry ancient writings to be deciphered. Instead, it is the physical contact of stone and paper that is the moment of writing, where the surface of the stone leaves traces on the paper. In Tübke’s words, the stone acts as a “co-creator of the final image”. In the end, it is the history of the material itself that is transmitted, despite its spatial and temporal distance from the viewers.
