Monika Huber: Archive Onethirty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783422800854)

One minute and thirty seconds is the average length allotted to a news
feature. For more than ten years, artist Monika Huber has been
photograph- ing images from daily news reports that bear witness to
protest, riots, war and violence, as well as their conse- quences. She
saves the images digital- ly, prints them out and reworks them by means
of painting and drawing.Over the years, an archive has been created; it
reveals a "grammar" of news images and invites us to examine the crisis
reporting of television news in a critical way. This selection of over
100 images from the archive is accom- panied by contributions
positioning Archive OneThirty from art-historical, philosophical,
political-scientific and journalistic perspectives.
