Caprii by Sies + Höke, Orangeriestr. 6, 40213 Düsseldorf.

Each of the solo and group exhibitions composing the dynamic, playful programme of Caprii is accompanied by a booklet, which offers an extended plane for holistically encountering the praxis of the respective artists.

Dorothee von Windheim's artistic practice centres on the notion of the trace: the imprint, the image, the cast, and the ways in which time becomes inscribed in material. Her works frequently eschew conventional modes of representation, instead emerging through processes of transfer, taking impressions from façades, bodies, textiles, and other surfaces. Through these acts of transcription, she renders visible that which is otherwise ephemeral: touch, memory, history, and the inherent vulnerability of matter. Central to her practice is not the finished image as an autonomous object, but the process of its formation and the fundamental question of what an image is capable of bearing witness to.

The booklet series is designed by Studio Thomas Spallek with Carolina Feijó and is made using remnant paper stock sourced from Druckerei Kettler.

My gaze remains on the surface, scanning it, trying to capture the outside sheath that stands for what it encompasses, what it contains. It is this surrounding skin that is marked by influences and impacts.
It becomes a bearer of information for those who perceive such signs and can decipher them.
Dot, dot, comma, line. We are all familiar with that. It stands for a countenance. Nothing else is necessary and we already feel looked at. (Today, we don’t even need the comma, the smiley used and understood everywhere has no nose).[...]
