post card series "Benachrichtigung"

prints on cardboard

Series of 13 cards about performative actions of the artist Hermann H. Capor in different hotels. The project started with the idea of reading in the place where the book author lived or about which the book is about The artistic realization was not clear for a long time. The guest gallery in the Hotel Sevilla gave the impulse to realize the project in the present form: The first part is the performative act of moving the portraits of the artists around or under them, including video documentation of this intervention in public space. The postcard series with the inserted images on the front and explanatory texts on the back is the second part and documentation of these actions, which otherwise would not be visible.
