Laura Horelli


This comprehensive oeuvre catalog (1999-2011) documents for the first time the broad oeuvre of the artist. In addition to text-based works and photographs, Laura Horelli in particular uses video as a medium, sometimes also in multi-channel video installations. In her research she focuses on communicative processes and their media, political and social requirements in the globalized world. Horelli’s conceptual objective is to approach “reality” in a subjective way, in order to excerpt urban environments, events and relationships from her past and current residences from their original contexts and to link them in a new way. This creates an intertext, which connects the different courses of time as well as their subtexts, and at the same time undermines the documentary-representative.


With a welcoming speech by Klaus Wowereit, a preface by Marius Babias, Kathrin Becker, Sophie Goltz, and texts by Maeve Connolly and Dieter Roelstraete.


The book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Laura Horelli. Hannah-Höch-Förderpreis 2011.


The publication can be purchased at local bookshops, via the website of Buchhandlung Walther König, and at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein. Members of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein can buy the book at n.b.k. for the special price of 15.00 Euro.
