After the planned completion and handover of the building to the German Bundestag in 2027, Patrizia Bach\u2019s wall drawings will extend across the entire wall of the foyer.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn her work, which was created in close collaboration with the Robert Havemann Society \u2013 Archive of the GDR Opposition, the artist explores the history of the independent women\u2019s movement in the former GDR. The intensive research of archival material resulted in 260 individual drawings, inspired by photographs and samizdat publications from the archives, such as GrauZone<\/em>. The work is complemented by a QR code, allowing visitors to access an online publication specifically programmed for this purpose. This publication will enable viewers to discover the stories behind the drawings through AI image recognition, in the form of quotes, texts, and archival material.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe jury especially highlighted the procedural approach of the work in their evaluation: applied by hand with a Polychromos pencil, the work includes not only the detailed drawings, which intentionally remain abstract and fragmentary, but also hand and finger marks that evoke the nocturnal printing actions of flyers and samizdat publications on matrix printing machines. These machines, which churches provided to women at great risk, were used by women who would leave with their fingers stained and often leave their mark on the prints. By leaving the drawings unfixed, they can metaphorically \u00bbrub off\u00ab on the visitors.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOn her website<\/a> Patrizia Bach states: \u00bbThis work is dedicated to the courage and perseverance of all the women involved, whose great actions irrevocably changed their own lives and who were often punished with deprivation of liberty, state surveillance and banishment.\u00ab<\/span>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_img","bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":6,"img_gallery":true,"img":[42463,42461,42453,42451,42455,42473,42471,42469],"img_gallery_format":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_txt","bgcolor":"has-bg-yellow","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":12,"txt_cols":"is-1-txtcol","txt":"Patrizia Bach (Solitude fellow 2018\/2019 in the sphere of practice of Visual Arts) lives and works in Berlin and Istanbul.
