Photographie - Moderne Photographie – Eines von 20 Exemplaren. - Hg. Edition Schellmann, München/New York, anlässlich der documenta 11, Kassel 2002. - Zarina Bhimji wurde in Uganda als Kind indischer Eltern geboren und musste das Land nach der Ausweisung aller Südasiaten durch Idi Amin 1972 verlassen. Für ihre Arbeit zur documenta 11 kehrte sie erstmals nach Uganda zurück und fotografierte Architektur, Flughäfen, Friedhöfe, Kasernen, Polizeizellen und Gefängnisse aus der Zeit des Amin-Regimes. Indem sie die Aufnahmen ins Medium des Leuchtkastens übersetzt, erscheinen die abgebildeten Orte in einer intensiven, malerischen und dreidimensionalen Qualität, die real und imaginär zugleich wirken und sich als Teilstücke zu einem Labyrinth der Vertreibung zusammensetzen.

Modern Photography – Transparency in lightbox. Signed and numbered on the reverse on a label. - Signed and numbered on the reverse of the label. Includes mounting fittings and power cable. - In very good overall condition. Excellent, high-contrast prints with a captivating sense of depth. - One of 20 copies. - Zarina Bhimji was born in Uganda to Indian parents and was forced to leave the country following Idi Amin's expulsion of all South Asians in 1972. For her work for documenta 11, she returned to Uganda for the first time and photographed architecture, airports, cemeteries, barracks, police cells and prisons from the era of the Amin regime. By translating the photographs into the medium of the lightbox, the depicted locations take on an intense, painterly and three-dimensional quality that appears both real and imaginary, coming together as fragments to form a labyrinth of displacement.
