Caprii | Ed. 13

Each of the solo and group exhibitions composing the dynamic, playful programme of Caprii is accompanied by a booklet, which offers an extended plane for holistically encountering the praxis of the respective artists.

The thirteenth edition presents a series of new works by Dorothee von Windheim. Her artistic practice centres on the notion of the trace: the imprint, the image, the cast, and the ways in which time becomes inscribed in material. Rather than relying on conventional forms of representation, her works emerge through processes of transfer, taking impressions from façades, bodies, textiles, and other surfaces. Through these acts of transfer, she makes visible what is otherwise ephemeral: touch, memory, history, and the inherent vulnerability of matter. At the heart of her practice lies not the finished image as an autonomous object, but the process of its formation and the fundamental question of what an image can bear witness to.

The booklet series is designed by Studio Thomas Spallek with Carolina Feijó and is made using remnant paper stock sourced from Druckerei Kettler.
