The participants pointed their cameras, microphones and notebooks at the Kunstsammlungen and captured something that generally remains unseen behind the museum glass: What images are created as part of the research processes in a museum? What academic work is involved before an exhibition can be opened? How is knowledge visualised in the museum environment?
Over a period of more than one year, the artists met with conservators, electricians, research assistants, directors, x-ray technicians and provenance researchers. The resulting dialogue between the internal and external perspective, between museum academics and artists, is reflected in the 16 new artworks, which include video installations, textiles, an imaginary computer game, transformed angels, AI-generated porcelain and an interview with a revolver.
