For ten years, the Turin shroud has not been shown to the public. We took the occasion of its exhibition in April to produce a show with artists, who work on the trace of a subject in very different media – we had sand paper works by Axel Philipp, a composite photograph of iconic portraits of human tragedy by Tobias Trutwin, and a (self-)portrait of sound artist Paul DeMarinis processed from his own voice in a piece by Jim Campbell. Also, we had a installation by Bruce Nauman which was more of an experimental setup for the participants to experience, and a piece by Via Lewandowsky taking both the trace and the idea of the iconic to a more art-historical level.
