Skalitzer. 68

Motto Berlin, Berlin

The theme of Camera Austria's new issue (118) is 'Photography_Text', which ensues from the observation that contemporary photographic artists are increasingly associating text and image mediums; a practice at the base of German artist Natalie Czech. At 'Skalitzer. 68' the magazine and the artist will plan a joint presentation, following the intense collaboration they had in the creation of this issue, where author Jens Asthoff discovers how Natalie Czech, through her photographs, investigates language as a space of contingency, probes boundaries of meaning, experiments with word-image relations, and encourages stratifications of intertextuality to intersect with and permeate one another. In his literary contribution, Barry Schwabsky poses exploratory questions about Czech's work: 'Is it possible to see her work as one enormous love letter: a billet-doux to poetry?' and notes that the last thing lovers want to give up is the possibility of gazing at the beloved: 'Photographing poetry means gazing at it.' In the same occasion, Natalie Czech's recently published monography 'I have nothing to say. Only to show' (Spector Books, 2012) will be officially presented and open to discussion with the artist. Starts at 7.00 pm.
