The German Dadaist Hannah Höch is one of the central protagonists of art in the 1920s. She is considered one of the inventors of collage and photomontage. With irony and ingenuity, and "armed" with glue and scissors, she brought the power of images into the focus of art.
The exhibition explores Hannah Höch's engagement with modern visual culture, in particular her fascination with film and photography. A multifaceted panorama of the avant-garde unfolds: around 60 of her photomontages as well as numerous films, artworks and documents from her circle - from Kurt Schwitters and László Moholy-Nagy to Man Ray and Max Ernst - reveal how Höch developed and perfected photomontage in the interwar period.
An exhibition of the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern in cooperation with Belvedere, Vienna.
