Distance and Desire - che accompagna la mostra omonima a Neu-Ulm - è la prima grande pubblicazione a mettere in scena un dialogo tra le visioni etnografiche della fotografia africana della fine del XIX e dell'inizio del XX secolo e l'impegno con questo immaginario da parte di artisti contemporanei.Distance and Desire indaga le rappresentazioni tipiche dei soggetti africani, dalle scene nella natura alle immagini romantiche di modelli seminudi, fino ai moderni ritratti in posa in studio, affrontando criticamente la politica del colonialismo e le complesse questioni di genere e identità. Tra i tanti argomenti, il catalogo approfondisce una serie di cartes de visite provenienti dai campi di diamanti di Kimberley, la figura degli Zulu, la storia dei principali fotografi di studio del Sudafrica, l'ampio studio etnografico di A.M. Duggan-Cronin The Bantu Tribes of South Africa e l'archivio di eleganti ritratti di famiglia riprodotti dall'artista contemporaneo SantuMofokeng in The Black Photo Album / Look at Me: 1890-1950.Il catalogo rivela anche come l'eredità dell'immaginario africano sia presente nelle pratiche di artisti contemporanei africani e afroamericani, la cui avvincente fotografia e video arte rielabora l'archivio attraverso la satira o l'appropriazione.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Distance and Desire - accompanying the same-titled exhibition in Neu-Ulm - is the first major publication to stage a dialogue between the ethnographic visions of late nineteenth and early-twentieth century African photography and engagements with this imagery by contemporary artists. Presenting an extraordinary range of portraits, albums, postcards, cartes de visite, and books from Southern Africa, as well as recent photography and video art from The Walther Collection, the catalogue includes original thematic essays by leading art historians, anthropologists, and cultural critics.Distance and Desire offers new perspectives on the African archive, reimagining its diverse histories and changing meanings.Distance and Desire investigates typical representations of African subjects, from scenes in nature and romanticized images of semi-nude models, to modern sitters posing in stylized studios, critically addressing the politics of colonialism and the complex issues of gender and identity. Among many diverse topics, the catalogue examines in-depth a series of cartes de visite from the Diamond Fields in Kimberley, the figure of the Zulu, the history of South Africa's prominent studio photographers, A.M. Duggan-Cronin's extensive ethnographic study The Bantu Tribes of South Africa, and the archive of elegant family portraits reproduced by the contemporary artist Santu Mofokeng in The Black Photo Album / Look at Me: 1890-1950. The catalogue also reveals how the heritage of African imagery figures in the practices of contemporary African and African American artists, whose compelling photography and video art reworks the archive through satire or appropriation.…
