Raimo D. Nagel

Publisher's description: This publication accompanies Raimo D. Nagel's first solo exhibition within an African institution, realized in the space founded by Viking Kanganyam André. Shortly before André’s passing, the artist engaged in an intense digital correspondence with him, a dialogue that resonates throughout the work. 20 + 20 photographs, created between 2022 and 2024, are reproduced in borderless layouts alongside meticulously captured details, enriched by compelling insights. Conceived both as a documentary record and as an independent object, the catalog preserves the understated material presence characteristic of the exhibited works, while offering the sole lasting trace of a presentation shaped by repeated postponements and deliberate absences.
