KAMERA CAHIER N° 8
Luise Schröder
A special edition issue curated, designed and published by AVARIE, Paris and Labor Neunzehn, Berlin. It accompanies KAMERA SERIES, while it is an independent and valuable object to collect.
The central idea that informs and directs the booklets’ montage is the interplay between the concepts of addition and subtraction. This is achieved by unveiling a missing image in the screening or an unreleased second from an artist's film, expanded to 24 pages. Additionally, each booklet contains a piece directly removed from the show.
The editing establishes a dialogue between film frames and performed writings derived from texts, scripts, storyboards, and notes. The KAMERA exhibition is consequently extended into a physical space—the book—allowing for its widespread dissemination, complementing and contrasting with its potential online occurrence.
KAMERA SERIES is a screening program of experimental films, video art works and printed matter taking place in a former GDR building in Berlin.
Each event showcases a retrospective of selected films by an artist and a small exhibition of his/her publications or works on paper over a span of 4 days.
KAMERA centers on fostering a critical dialogue between different film formats and artists’ books. Through its regular occurrence, it aspires to create a space for community exchanges about contemporary image-making.

Luise Schröder is a visual artist who lives and works in Germany and France. She studied Photography and Media Arts at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. In her multimedia works (photography, video, installation, performance, printed matter) she deals with the construction of history and the concept of memory and their significance for the present. Central to her concerns is the question as to how far official commemoration is influenced by political, social and media developments and how that feeds back into identities and communities. Luise Schröder does not regard the past as a discrete entity, but as something permanently open and in a direct relation to the present.
Luise Schröder has presented works and projects internationally in various solo and group exhibitions, as well as film festivals, including Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin (F), Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (DE), Galerie EIGEN+ART (Berlin/Leipzig, DE), the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art in Berlin (DE), Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien (Berlin DE), Musée Carnavalet / Paris History Museum (Paris, F), French Institute (Kyoto, JPN) BIENALSUR – International Biennial of Contemporary Art of the South (Córdoba, ARG), Alternative Film/Video Festival (Belgrade, SRB) and Kassel Dok – Documentary/Video/Art (Kassel, DE). She received the C/O Talents Award, the SpallArt Preis Salzburg and the photography grant Regards du Grand Paris #4 supported by the Cnap – Centre national des arts plastiques and Ateliers Médicis. She was a resident at Villa Aurora in Los Angeles and at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. She is also a member of the women artist collective: THE CROWN PROJECT (www.crownproject.art) and she is currently working on her publication (Strömungen in Bewegung) supported by the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn.
