Ines Schaber

In her talk, Ines Schaber will focus on a work that she conducted together with the artist Stefan Pente from 2009-11. unnamed series features a succession of artworks pro­voked by photographs that art historian Aby Warburg had taken as part of his travels to the Hopi Indians in 1898. Warburg noted that the images should never be published, but in the 1990s, the Warburg Institute in London made the images available as part of a glossy hardcover book. The art work and an accompanying text circulate around a series of aspects that the encounter between Warburg and the Hopis evokes.
