Johanna Reich, RESURFACE

The project Resurface devotes itself to female artists of the 19th and 20th century who, although successful in their own lifetimes, have been all but forgotten today. Thanks to ongoing digitization, the archived works and biographies of these female artists are gradually resurfacing on the internet. Photographic portraits are uploaded and Wikipedia entries written. JOHANNA REICH produces Polaroids of the digital testimonies. In order to make the brief moment of “resurfacing” visible, she films the picture development process with a digital camera.
