| Summary: | In Lobeda, the artist's book from 2010, Sabine Moritz remembers her childhood and youth spent in a prefab housing estate near Jena with more than 100 pencil drawings. In "Jena - Düsseldorf" we follow her artistic development, which began in 1989 at the Hochschule Offenbach and continued from 1991 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. While the early drawings are very homogenous, these pictures have greater diversity in terms of content and form, and are also complemented with the addition of colour. The repertoire of motifs is expanded to include places of remembrance in the DDR, sculptures in public spaces and the typology of "empty places". Some of the motifs from "Lobeda" reappear and are altered, drawing attention to the dynamic aspect of the process of recollection. In conversations with Hans Ulrich Obrist, which follow the chronological order of the book, Sabine Moritz talks about her personal life, her recollections and makes reference to specific works.
