Antonia Hirsch – Search Engine

Antonia Hirsch’s ‘Search Engine’ is a book project that situates the Berlin-based artist’s conceptual practice on par with her production of images and objects. The book’s title and its central feature, a classic index, reveal the full spectrum of Hirsch’s oeuvre. Mobilising contemporary tools, narratives, and epistemic systems, she transforms raw information and raw material into investigations of how we situate ourselves socially, politically, and economically. The publication comprises an extensive image section, texts by Henriette Huldisch and Katharina Rein, a conversation between Elena Filipovic and Hirsch, and an introduction and glossary by the artist.
