Judith Siegmund
Visit-Series: Social Sounds
Using various means such as questionnaires, interviews, typographic installations, posters and video recordings, artist Judith Siegmund examined the most intimate thoughts, fears and hopes of “ordinary” citizens regarding foreigners and xenophobia at the outskirts of the European Union: At the border area between Germany and Poland and between Austria and Slovenia. Fragments of conversations and interview as well as pictures were published in a trilingual book (German, Polish, Slovenian).
The series Visit is a open platform for the presentation and discussion of contemporary art. Künstlerhaus offers to everyone interested, the possibility to propose ideas or concepts for discussions, talks and screenings. The compilation for the series is made by a group of members that meets frequently.
