Buchvorstellung des Bildbands „Durch Fotografie keine Einsichten“ in Kooperation mit Lessing und Kompanie

In the organizer's words:

Durch Fotografie keine Einsichten is a collaborative project between inmates at Chemnitz Prison and students at the Bauhaus University Weimar.

As part of the book launch, Luisa Hörning, Marleen Kölmel, Tarek Rishmawi and Pio Rahner will talk about the project "Durch Fotografie keine Einsichten" and their respective works. Ossian Osborne adds the perspective of book design.

About the project:

No Insights through Photography deals with the question of whether it is possible to make the lives and work of imprisoned women visible beyond outrage, sensationalism and voyeuristic gaze. It approaches this question through the medium of photography.
The otherwise hidden everyday life inside Chemnitz Prison is brought out into the open. It is not the prison in its function or the prison in its execution that is shown, but what happens between people when they meet. The result is three photographic series, each of which deals with the inner world of Chemnitz Prison in a different way. The photographs show moments, fragments and nuances of everyday prison life. They focus on the ordinary. It is the inmates who know the rooms, moments and processes and describe the cosmos of the prison from their routines.
In the book, the photographs are supplemented by a statement from the inmates involved in the project, Anis, Moni, Chrisi, Pop, Löckchen and Art, as well as a text by Susanne Koch (art therapy, Chemnitz Prison) and Pio Rahner (former artistic assistant, Bauhaus University Weimar). The visible traces of use refer to the many people and authorities involved in the process.
