Erinnerung als Thema Wissenschaftlich gesprochen speist sich das Erinnern, aus der Fähigkeit Informationen aufzunehmen, umzuwandeln und wieder abzurufen. Diese Unsch.rfe der Worte beim Versuch Erinnerungen zu verbalisieren, ist der Subjektivit.t des Gestaltens beim in Form bringen von Inhalten nicht un.hnlich. Ist Sprache ein limitiertes Werkzeug, um das Erinnerte zu vermitteln, so kann auch Gestaltung nur einen Zugang, eine Perspektive zum Inhalt entwickeln und subjektive Vermittlungsmethoden probieren, sie dient als Schlüssel und Zugang zur Erinnerung des Anderen. So wie Design als Mittel zur Bearbeitung und Interpretation von Ereignissen fungiert – anwendet,ausprobiert und in Form bringt – funktioniert das Erinnern als Prozessierung Interpretation von abgespeicherten Ereignissen, die die Sprache in Form zu bringen sucht.

“It’s a common Saturday afternoon activity for Beijing’s residents to take a trip to one of its two branches” says Sascia.

Rachel Monosov’s exhibition borrows its title, It’s All Written In The Stars, from the short film at its core. With elements of science fiction and autobiography, the Monosov sisters, Rachel and Maria, who wrote, directed, and starred in the video work, return to their childhood home. The long journey is intercepted with possible memories of a forgotten girlhood in Bukova, a small village in the Zelenchukskiy province of Russia. This remote town burgeoned around the Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), home to what was for several years the world’s largest single primary mirror optical reflecting telescope. To return in 2019 is an experience of going back in time, to a place where time appears to have stopped upon the collapse of the USSR in 1989. It’s All Written In The Stars slowly reveals complicated social etiquettes and unsettling agendas. As the estranged sisters try to reconstruct a forgotten past, fragments of memory offer possible utopian futures.
