Catwalk to History

A comprehensive representation of Bettina Allamoda' s working process in both word and image. This selection contains over 100 color pictures of her sculpture, installations, collages, documentary photographs, silkscreens and drawings, performance and video works, as well as essays by Claudia Basrawi, Jörg Heiser, Jan Kedves, Katrin Bettina Müller and a conversation between Juliane Rebentisch and the artist.

In close collaboration with the contributors, covering popcultural phenomena inscribed in art, architecture, design, fashion, but also: history, archeology, documentation, this book illuminates Allamoda's interest in the politics of the surface, the body, physical space and sculpture. Based on media, reception, and memory - it reveals her attempt to display and present how history is written, excavated, reinterpreted and even re-built or exploited by later generations.
