The Portrait as a Multi-Sensory Cultural Practice

Zurich, Conference paper

At the international conference 'Reworking the Archives. Hans Himmelheber and African Art/ists', which deals with objects, images and papers from the archive of the art anthropologist Hans Himmelheber, I present my work and the resulting art-practical research . It deals with cultural forms of representation that are not only based on the sense of sight and was inspired by Himmelheber's work.
