 I. Helen Jilavu: (Re)-Appearance

 "(Re)-Appearance" is the most re
 cent catalogue on the photograph
 ic work of I. Helen Jilavu, name
 d after the title of her exhibit
 ion at the Museum Pfalzgalerie K
 aiserslautern, which was held De
 cember 3rd, 2005 until January 2
 6th, 2006.

 In this publication the "(re)-ap
 pearing" of images results from
 their being partially position
 ed "across" the binding of the b
 ook. The folding of the printed
 sheets then determines where in
 the the book the respective imag
 e parts (re)-emerge. Consequentl
 y, photographs and texts are spl
 it into pieces, the first to be
 seen earlier in the book than it
 s complementing part.

 I. Helen Jilavu's photographic w
 ork is not only carefully compos
 ed, but also extremely narrative
  which is taken up and reflected
  in the catalogue's overall conc
 ept: Photographs become reading
 breaks and "stages for thorough
 beholding of details".
