Dear EIKON-Readers,
Dear Friends,

Magazine Launch EIKON #104

On November 15, we are delighted to present the works of Mladen Bizumic, Anna Reisenbichler, Rosa Barba, Fritz Simak and Vasco Araújo in EIKON #104. IN FOCUS, curated by Steffen Siegel, provides an insight into the master course "Photography Studies" and illustrates how theory and practice are being meaningfully connected at Folkwang Universität der Künste in Essen. In addition, we present a new short film by Carola Dertnig and the state of research regarding Gustav Klimt's coeval Moriz Nähr. Furthermore, EIKON invited Simon Baker, new head of Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), to share his recommendations for the exhibitions to come.

Anna Reisenbichler. Anna & Anna

Referring to the British botanist and artist Anna Atkins (1799—1871), Anna Reisenbichler deals in Anna & Anna with the reality content of nature mappings. Anna & Anna reflects the contextual relevance and reliability of facts as well as the objectivity of knowledge visualization.

An important factor of Anna & Anna is the medial translation and content-related entanglement of information: The large-format cyanotypes were not created in the photographic process, but in slow, lengthy manual labor with colored pencil. Some of the documented things are kept in collection cases, but the compilation does not seem to follow any comprehensible logic. The book objects refer formally to Atkins' books, but in terms of content they remain ambiguous and personal by means of textual elements.

A main contribution is dedicated to the artist in the latest issue EIKON #104.
