In their artist talk, SKGAL will explore
their working methods and discuss the possibilities and limits of artistic strategies in dealing with archives: How can historically
situated materials be used to narrate other possible contexts? How can experiences of the archive that evade visual depiction
become tangible? How can we work (together) with ghosts? How can extractivist processes be subverted in archives – or in artistic
works?
By engaging with particular archives, SKGAL explores these questions in search of a caring approach to archives
and towards the traces of resistant moments. Through speaking, filming, translating, cropping, rearranging, and tearing (off),
historical, political, and affective contexts are processed and translated into installations, videos, and prints.
