Politik von Medienbildern - Politics of Media Images

“Through which framing do we perceive images? How does their reception change depending on editorial decisions? How comprehensively is our perception of global events influenced by their media treatment? Which contextualization comes closest to what is actually happening? Can there be objective coverage?” Raising questions like these-posed by art historian and photography theorist Mira Anneli Nass-rather than presenting answers, is a key to Jonas Hoeschl’s artistic practice. Based on his media-reflexive work, the artist gathers perspectives of numerous theorists, artists, as well as authors dealing with media-theoretical questions in our increasingly fragile present that make our social inflammations and injuries painfully tangible.
