Annika Eschmann’s long-term photographic observation took place in a village on the March, where the Iron Curtain ran until 1989; eight rose plants were documented at irregular intervals over the course of a year and arranged in a grid according to the time between the photographs. The installation revolves around questions of visibility and repression, political landscape and subjective perception. It deals with the economy of attention that shapes social and private realities. What we no longer see loses its significance – even if it continues to exist. In its material translation between photography and drawing, the work refers to processes of abstraction in which original information is not only transformed but also selectively repressed. Visibility, it turns out, is not a neutral fact but a result of social, temporal and material conditions.
