WOMEN. Image collection (I), presents samples of a personal image collection. These are shown as reproductions of original ring folder pages, some are numbered or marked. The volume comprises about 400 cut-out fragments from journals, magazines, films or art historical illustrations.
It might remind us of Aby Warburgs famous Mnemosyne Bilderatlas and indeed the book evokes a kind of visual research. However you will not find any obvious order. You may discover striking relationships and coherences from page to page. The collection developed discontinuously over a long period of almost 30 years, still being expanded. The images are selected on an intuitive attraction not considering later use or categorization.
In terms of time and context the visuals cover a broad spectrum and heterogeneity. Through the arrangement and juxtaposition in double pages, the work becomes an iconic visual atlas.
