Description
Hannah Höch Assembled Worlds by Martin Waldmeier, Stella Rollig, and Nina Zimmer is a comprehensive exploration of the life and work of Hannah Höch, a pioneering artist who challenged traditional representations of reality. Through her innovative use of montage, Höch created works that dissected and reassembled the world around her, reflecting on the impact of war, consumer culture, and technological change. This richly illustrated book delves into Höch's fascination with film and visual culture, tracing the evolution of montage in a field marked by artistic experimentation, commercial exploitation, and political appropriation. Featuring a text written by Höch herself in 1948, as well as contributions from key figures such as Sergej Eisenstein and László Moholy-Nagy, this volume offers a unique insight into the development of photomontage. With its expert annotations and extensive research, Hannah Höch Assembled Worlds provides a nuanced understanding of Höch's artistic vision and its significance in the context of modernism and avant-garde movements.
