The exhibition for the 40th Kassel
Dokfest brings together 19 media installations that trace visual
regimes, reflect on the power of images (and sounds), and examine their
functional potential. In doing so, the artists consider images primarily
as media of changing worldviews and as carriers and structuring
elements of information. They examine gaze and representation, the
psychological, social, cultural and technical conditions of the
production and reception of images.
The title of this year’s Monitoring exhibition This Image Will Become Important Later is borrowed from Thomas Mader’s installation all heat and no light
and refers to this increased importance of images and their influence
on opinions and perceptions. It looks at how images become signs, and
how they are interpreted, appropriated, reshaped and instrumentalized –
whether circulating memes or archival images.
