VERNISSAGE: DOUGLAS MANDRY – LES ARCHIVES DE LA PLANÈTE: BILDHALLE ZURICH

Season Opening: 28 August 2025, 18 - 21h

19h: Introduction by Joshua Amissah, curator and writer

The artist is present and will sign his new book.

In his most recent series, Douglas Mandry explores the historical archives of the Albert Kahn Museum (Paris) through a visual reinterpretation, challenging colonial and universalist perspectives. He transforms selected autochrome images  from the archive through lithography printing and painting, altering their materiality in order to disrupt their documentary authority. His process embraces decay, abstraction, and ambiguity, exposing the fragility of archives and the landscapes they depict.
