À la Recherche de Hubert Fichte
A six-meter-long wallpaper À la Recherche de Fichte, which I made for the exhibition Love and Ethnology at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin in 2019/20, curated by Diedrich Diederichsen and Anselm Franke.From the estate of Hubert Fichte at the State and University Library Carl von Ossietzky in Hamburg, I photographed books and pages from Hubert Fichte’s library, in which he had underlined sentences or made notes in the margins, pages from his manuscripts, his index cards, his tie collection, his folders, his flute, objects that he had collected with the photographer Leonore Mau on their travels together, love letters, etc. This gave me the possibility to gain a first insight into Fichte’s working methods and immerse myself in Fichte’s world. The 108 square photos reference a smartphone’s photo library and the 6 x 6 format from a Rolleiflex camera.
This work is part of the exhibition Happy Birthday Hubert Fichte! 03-2025
