Published by Kunstverein Hannover, with a text by Ute Stuffer.
For the exhibition at Kunstverein Hannover, Ingo Mittelstaedt produces a fanzine dedicated to the life and work of the artist Martel Schwichtenberg (1896-1945). The artist focuses on a female figure who, after studying art in Düsseldorf in the 1920s, first gained recognition as an artist in Berlin. This female figure carries out commercial work for the company Bahlsen in Hanover, which enabled her to lead an emancipated, independent life.
“The element of appropriation is always overlaid by projections, because in the interplay between research and imagination the mental image of a person develops on a field with sharpness and blurs, continuities and ruptures. An individual selection develops out of the fusion of the abstract quality of what was, the artist’s personal interest, and his own identity, which allows Ingo Mittelstaedt’s look at the past shine out in the present in the form of photographic transformation. He literally zooms in on individual fragments, lets them be identifiable as such, rearranges them, and in this interspersed revitalization characterizes and visibility that both preserves the past and eludes it at the same time.” (Ute Stuffer)
