Beschreibung
The catalogue Meer ohne Horizont documents the works of Ursula Neugebauer from 2018 onwards using photographs and essays and is the third volume in a series entitled aus der Haut gefahren and L'Inconnue, which began in 2006. The main part of the catalogue is the chapter black snow. Since 1998 Ursula Neugebauer has regularly visited the Polish village of Dzwonów, formerly Schellendorf, in what was then Lower Silesia, where her mother was born in 1931 and where she grew up until 1945. However, she never returned to her home village after her flight to western Germany and until her death in 1999. The current village dwellers originally stem from Ukraine, which was then eastern Poland and was claimed by the Soviet Union after World War II, accompanied by the forced resettlement of the Polish population. The work Black Snow associates sculptural and filmic elements based on years of research. My mothers silence and the stories relayed by the current villagers, with their own experiences of flight, overlap and permeate one another: an epigenetics that invasively includes the surrounding vegetation and becomes an all-encompassing community of fate.
