In 2019 Lisa Truttmann’s apartment and studio space were destroyed entirely in a major fire. In her work Memorabilien she takes up this decisive life event in order to reflect upon the meaning of personal things and their value as possible art objects. Truttmann rescued fragmentary objects, archived and staged them as photographic and cinematic still lifes. In a playful and essayistic manner, Truttmann shares her work and thought processes, spanning a web in which the relationship between subject and object is continuously re-woven. During this process of medial abstraction, the memorabilia undergo a spatial transformation as well: Moving images soon detach themselves from the projection screen, the cinema space opens up, the stage becomes a temporary photo and film studio and finally transforms into a walk-in exhibition space.
