Kazuna Taguchi’s works are based on an analogue and hands-on approach at the intersection of painting and photography: In an intricate process, the artist combines various visual sources that she paints only to photograph them in various environments and setting that suit the attributes of each painting, and ultimately incorporates elements of chance while manipulating the prints in the darkroom. Taguchi compares the multiple layers and repeated interventions that lead to a permeation of myriad textures, time planes, and narrative spaces to the work of a painter who keeps tirelessly returning to her easel and brush.

“Things matter, Dinge zählen is published on the occasion of my exhibition Weltraum at Albertinum museum in Dresden. In 1998 when I first visited Dresden I bought a collection catalog of the Neue Meister in Gemäldegalerie Dresden for five marks in the bargain bin outside the museum bookshop. I was fascinated by it and the grid structured, black and white display of paintings in alphabetical order. It inspired me in 2003 to design my catalogue for the Tate Britain exhibition in exactly the same but chronological style. If one thing matters, everything matters is now 22 years old and I happen to now have a solo exhibition in the same Neue Meister museum which is now called Albertinum. So for the catalogue of this show I fused and rephotographed the books from 1987 and 2003 and placed new works from the 2025 on top of the pages.” Wolfgang Tillmans, Instagram

Peter Hujar (born 1934) died of AIDS in 1987, leaving behind a complex and profound body of photographs. Hujar was a leading figure in the group of artists, musicians, writers, and performers at the forefront of the cultural scene in downtown New York in the 1970s and early 80s, and he was enormously admired for his completely uncompromising attitude towards work and life.
