This video introduces the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen’s upcoming exhibition, ‘Image & Power,’ offering a view behind the scenes with participating artist Aziza Kadyri, curator Mara Kölmel and archive director Barbara Weibel.
In the video, Kadyri reflects on her artistic practice and discusses the site- and context-specific installation she is creating for the exhibition, which is based on her research in the museum’s photographic archive. Additionally, Kölmel and Weibel provide context on the archive’s photographs that document the era of the Zeppelins, illustrating how they were used as tools of national self-representation and power exertion. The exhibition aims to uncover the mystical and enigmatic aspects of this history through Kadyri’s contemporary, non-Western, female perspective, which combines AI with Central Asian visual language.
