Verblieben. Erinnert. Gesehen. Verstummt. Eine Recherche.
Maria Sewcz
Remained. Remembered. Seen. Silenced. An investigation.
Maria Sewcz uses photography to explore the legacy of her families of origin, the few images, documents and found objects that have survived the passage of time in a random and fragmentary collection. She displays photographs of places of residence and landscapes, of objects belonging to her ancestors that are worth preserving, which she compares with her own memories. It is about material and aura, description and fiction, retrospective and self-questioning against the backdrop of a comprehensive context, of history. Maria Sewcz presents draft narratives that incorporate the gaps in what has been handed down and attempt to interpret them freely.
