In »Improvised Projections,« the artist Philipp Goldbach and the photography historian Steffen Siegel turn the spotlight on how the history of photography was presented in the late GDR. Andreas Krase taught at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig (Academy of Fine Arts) from 1985 until 1990. Undisturbed by government oversight, he built a collection of slides over the years that reflects the media history of its time. In their project, Goldbach and Siegel transpose this treasure into a creative arrangement in its own right—a new volume in the KONTEXT series that prompts reflections on the possibilities and limitations of the circulation of knowledge.
