An exhibition called Die Unsichtbare (The Invisible), highlighting the influence of women, wants to modify or even transform the way women’s contribution to the historical development of Nuremberg is seen and celebrated.
From the 1st to 21st of October, Nuremberg’s city centre will become a public exhibition space. Twenty uniquely designed poster motifs of 20 women, all who led eventful lives and shaped the history of Nuremberg, will be on display on advertising boards around the city. For each of the persons featured, a possible memorial location is suggested. The project hopes to initiate a city-wide societal discourse about diversity, the landscape of remembrance, and promote the further diversification of narratives about the city.
Visitors to this large-scale art exhibition have much more to experience than simply looking at the photo motifs. All the posters have a QR code, leading to a website detailing biographical information about the selected person. The artist and photographer Claudia Holzinger created the graphics and visuals for the posters. Raphael Unger and Alexander Mrohs worked together to create 3D visualisations for monuments in their proposed locations.
