The exhibition Disappearing act / second life brings together practices that experiment with the materiality of the analog image, still or moving, and with the processes that it is intertwined. By testing the limits of their medium, the participating artists investigate process and performativity as essential components of their production. Whether the material is found or documented by the artists themselves, the exhibition balances between the gradual appearance and disappearance of the image, focusing on the “second life” it acquires as a material entity penetrating our digital era.
