{"uid":"kT3QqcwMV9mk2VBf","type":"artist","tags":["instalation"],"group":"no","group_name":null,"project_title":"Schlesischer Busch Watchtower: Auto-Luminograms (1977-2019)","summary":"The installation comprises of seven 1:1 scale photographs (45cm x 30cm) taken inside an East German watchtower in Berlin.  The photographs are mounted onto aluminium and floated from the wall. Each photograph is designated and displayed according to its orientation: from east-southeast to north-northwest. The work was created in Berlin, then developed and installed at CheLA in Buenos Aires later in the summer of 2019.\n\nIn Schlesischer Park, Berlin; stands one of the few remaining Watch Towers used during the times of the German Democratic Republic which acted as a lookout and deterrent for those looking to cross the Berlin Wall from the surrounding \u2018death strip\u2019.\n\nOn the first floor are a number of small fold-down rectangular ventilation hatches used to aerate the Watchtower guard\u2019s living accommodation. Since the Tower\u2019s completion in 1977, the hatches facing outwards towards the death strip have become sun-bleached, colour-faded and graffiti splattered, creating a series of memorialised auto-landscapes. These auto-luminograms complicate notions of witnessing and representing sites of trauma in the present.","space":"The work should be installed either along an uninterrupted wall as a set of seven, or arranged into the corner of a space with 3 images and 4 images. The distance between each photograph should be set at 70cm and from the photograph to the floor should measure 85cm. The height of the space should not exceed 3 metres. The total length of the installation with spacing will be 8.5metres. There should be some architectural relationship to ideas of surveillance, memorialisation or borders.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":7,"names":"Adam","surname":"Knight","email":"info@adamknight.co.uk","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"509502416","address":"724 Holmefield House, W10 5FU","city":"London","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1982-05-01T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1982-05-01T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+44 (0)7721042697","web":"@adamrknight"}
