BA Major Art Semester
2021/22 SS MERRY CHRISTMAS ! is a book, that through it’s own photographic language, comments on our society’s past view of women, the male gaze in particular, while also hinting at the fact that is has not changed so much since then…














A project made in the course
Studio Exhibit | Yesterday Tomorrow: Memory in Art
As a first assignment, the students were asked to “inhabit” the work of one of the artists who participated in the exhibition “tell me about yesterday tomorrow”. Starting from there, they should acquire tools to develop their own work. In the second assignment, following the historical perspective introduced by the very same exhibition, they should develop a personal work dealing with the topic of “memory”. The supporting modules provided the students with historical and theoretical insight on the topic of the studio, and offered technical tools to exhibit the resulting works online.
