From September 12, 2020 to January 23, 2021, C/O Berlin is presenting the exhibition Felicity Hammond: Remains in Development at the Amerika Haus. For her first exhibition in Germany, Felicity Hammond brings together three recent bodies of work in a newly developed, site-specific installation. Remains in Development combines large-scale collages, sculptural elements, and an installation that explores chroma keying—a film and photo technique based on green and blue backgrounds used to separate objects from their surroundings and re-stage them against any backdrop.
In addition, and parallel to the presentation at C/O, an outdoor project consisting of five temporary advertising columns (Litfaßsäulen) extends the exhibition into the urban space. The motifs, designed specifically for this presentation and based on the artist’s collages shown at C/O, are displayed free of charge in the outdoor area of B-Part Am Gleisdreieck, where three of the five columns can be viewed in a unique interplay with the urban site. The other locations are the central median on Hardenbergstraße near C/O and Kühlhaus Berlin.
Felicity Hammond (1988, Birmingham, UK) addresses in her work the social, political, and economic contradictions of the postmodern city, whose buildings and façades shape our collective identity and suggest a future by erasing history. In large-format collages, the artist combines found fragments from glossy brochures and billboards of real estate companies with her own photographs. The self-confident promise of advertising meets post-industrial scenes of tires, construction debris, sacks of plaster, pallets, and materials left behind at major building sites. The collages—reminiscent of apocalyptically charged history paintings—rarely point to concrete places or decipherable references.
We’re very pleased about this exciting collaboration! The exhibition, as well as the columns on the B-Part grounds, can be viewed through January 2021.
