Ostfuturistisches Erinnerndie Transformationszeit In Postsoz

This study centres around video art works from the 2010s dealing with the transformation period of the 1990s. It focuses on the so-called "Transformation Generation", in particular on female-identifying artists and collectives born between 1975 and 1985. Ulrike Gerhardt also explores how they and their respective practices relate to the accelerated change and breakpoints following 1989/91, as well as their after-effects in the present. The emphasis is on the blurring of traces, on decentration and amalgamation, on speculation and alienation, whereby the transformation presents as a highly complex, challenging cultural process.
