In 2019, Lisa Truttmann’s apartment and studio were completely destroyed in a major fire. In her work ­Memorabilien, she revisits this pivotal life event to reflect on the meaning of personal belongings and their potential as art objects. Truttmann salvaged ­fragmentary items, archiving and staging them as ­photographic and cinematic still lifes.

In a playful, essayistic approach, she invites viewers into her creative and conceptual processes, weaving a web in which the relationship between subject and ­object is continuously redefined. Throughout this process of medial abstraction, the memorabilia also undergo a spatial transformation: moving images detach from the projection screen, the cinema space opens up, the stage becomes a temporary photo and film studio, and ultimately transforms into a walk-in exhibition ­environment.
