I Will Never Forget what i Do Not Remember

Ohne Titel´s works intersect her private history with that of recent art. Accumulations of family snapshots, which are cut-up and layered, are placed on top of VIP invitations from museum and art galleries. The same operation which obsessively re-uses every scrap of her personal memorabilia in turn erases the specificity of the images, producing a tension between the individual and the generic, which poses questions about the import of each image in the context of a barrage of them. Events in the artworld are subjected to the same questioning; are they destined to the same ephemeral quality as the memory of a family picnic or a late night dinner with friends?
