Hannah Hoch. Assembled Worlds
She moved between worlds - as an editor at a major magazine publisher and as the only woman who was able to hold her own in the Berlin Dada scene. In the 1920s, Hannah Höch (1889-1978) broke away from the habits of representation and vision: Her works dissected a world scarred by the catastrophe of the First World War and consumer culture. Scissors and glue were the weapons of her art of montage. Editing and montage, in turn, also characterised film as a young medium at the time, which influenced Höch's work immensely: she understood montages as static films. This richly illustrated and expertly annotated book is the first to explore Höch's fascination with film and the visual culture of the modern industrial age. The volume is rounded off by a text on photomontage by Hannah Höch, written in 1948, as well as a text montage on montage as an artistic technique: film-makers and artists, including Dsiga Wertow, Sergej Eisenstein, László Moholy-Nagy, Raoul Hausmann and Kurt Schwitters, have their say.
