Together with Sammy Baloji and Twenty Nine Studio Brussels the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism launched “Vocabulaire(s)”, an artist book that was produced as part of the exhibition “Tell me about y̶e̶s̶t̶e̶r̶d̶a̶y̶ tomorrow” (28.11.19-18.10.20).
The artist book ties in with Sammy Baloji's recent work “Mémoire," in which links archival photographs from the Belgian colonial period with current photos of the mining city of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “Vocabulaire(s)” weaves together material from different times that deal with the period of colonialism and its entanglements until present day. It tells history through narratives, archival images as well as territorial and material inscriptions. It offers multiple perspectives on the past, demonstrates how history is constructed and thereby addresses the political dimension of memory.
