Shifting Degrees of Certainty

Third in the KW Pocket Series is the catalog Shifting Degrees of Certainty from the exciting young Israeli artist, Ilit Azoulay. During her 2013 five-month residency at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Azoulay traveled throughout Germany collecting and photographing objects and architectural fragments in towns and cities from Berlin to Bamberg, as well as in the KW building itself. Her interest in the archaeology of cities resulted in the 2014 exhibition of the same title at the KW Berlin. Documented in this pocket-sized catalog accompanying the exhibition are images of the 93 objects she photographed, the site-specific installation, and narratives Azoulay developed about her finds based on correspondence with squatters, botanists and taxidermists. Combined with texts from the exhibition audio guide, the publication, edited by curators E llen Blumenstein and Adela Yawitz, also features an essay by Katia Reich examining the projects archival character.
