Bernhard Cella\u2019s sweeping pictorial documentary of convalescent men present us with an iconography of a century of medical progress and, by the same token, with a typology of the mise en scenes of soon-to-be homecoming patients. These staged pictures open up a counter narrative to that of vigorous, unscathed, and invulnerable masculinity. They invariably invoke calamitous moments, sustained injuries, the scars of war as well as the causes and circumstances preceding a fateful event that no camera was there to capture. Their insistence on calm, deceleration, casual gestures, and lightheartedness in the photographer\u2019s presence cannot hide this fact. Or, as Paul Virilio put it, \u201cimages are ammunition, cameras are weapons.\u201d

Bernhard Cellas Panoptikum an rekonvaleszenten M\u00e4nnern \u2013 quer durch ein Jahrhundert \u2013 demonstriert nicht nur eine Ikonografie des medizinischen Fortschritts und die Typologie der mise en sc\u00e8ne der bald wieder in den Alltag Zur\u00fcckkehrenden. Es legt in seiner jeweiligen Inszenierung auch einen Bruch offen, der dem Bild der vitalen, unversehrten und unverletzbaren M\u00e4nnlichkeit zuwiderl\u00e4uft. Jedes fotografische Abbild tr\u00e4gt in sich unweigerlich auch den Moment des Unfalls, der Verwundung, der Kriegsverletzung, bei dem kein Aufnahmeapparat zugegen war. Die Insistenz auf Ruhe, Entschleunigung, Unbefangenheit und Unbeschwertheit f\u00fcr das Objektiv kann nicht dr\u00fcber hinwegt\u00e4uschen. Oder wie Paul Virilio formulierte: \u201cBilder sind Munition, Kameras sind Waffen\u201d.

We see women looking at art, everything an exhibition has to offer: paintings, sculptures, installations. If we’re women, then one could say they’re women looking at women looking at art. And if the Instagram account \u201cart.n.girls,\u201d which reposts images of women looking at art, is also art, then we have women looking at art in which women are looking at art. The images are gleaned from the Instagram accounts of museums, galleries, art magazines, art blogs, and auction houses. Women looking at art embody a particular image of commodified femininity that shows its bourgeois roots. Thus, they reflect the commodification of an art that\u2019s become a mere investment. Their bearing in these PR photos is receptive, moved, submissive, and might be intended as a stand-in for the artwork\u2019s aura, but ultimately it remains empty and devoid of meaning.

Wir sehen Frauen, die sich Kunst anschauen \u2013 alles, was die Ausstellungsorte so hergeben: Gem\u00e4lde, Skulpturen, Installationen. Wenn wir Frauen sind, dann k\u00f6nnte man sagen, hier schauen Frauen sich Frauen an, die auf Kunst schauen. Und wenn der Instagram Account \u201cart.n.girls,\u201d der Bilder von Frauen repostet, die sich Kunst anschauen, auch Kunst ist, dann schauen Frauen auf Kunst, auf der Frauen Kunst anschauen. Die Bilder stammen aus Instagram Accounts von Museen, Galerien, Kunstzeitschriften, Kunstblogs oder Auktionsh\u00e4usern. Die Kunst schauenden Frauen verk\u00f6rpern ein ganz bestimmtes Bild von warenf\u00f6rmiger Weiblichkeit, die ihre bourgeoise Herkunft nicht versteckt. Sie spiegeln damit die Warenf\u00f6rmigkeit einer Kunst, die lediglich Investitionsobjekt ist. Ihre Haltung in diesen PR-Fotos \u2013 empf\u00e4nglich, bewegt und unterw\u00fcrfig \u2013 soll m\u00f6glicherweise als Surrogat der Aura des Kunstwerks dienen, bleibt aber letztendlich leer und ohne Bedeutung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
