GRAMMAR by Roseanne Lynch (signed copy)

Roseanne Lynch had an 18 month residency at the Bauhaus Foundation
Dessau in 2018 and 2019. She immersed herself there in the sites of the
Bauhaus and its Materials Research Archive while also working through the
elementary design teachings of the Bauhaus School with photographic
processes. Her images act as visual prompts through the recognition of
modernist identifiers showing the power of photography in shaping the visual
history of modern architecture.

Through making in abstract and documentary ways, Lynch’s work explores
the peculiarity of photographic images in terms of what they allow to appear
and the ways in which they stand in for what they represent. Her work
considers the role of photography in the coding of social structures that
create and maintain themselves through images. By engaging with the
performative functions of the medium, this presentation of Lynch’s work
shows how photographic transformation influences the production of cultural
artefacts and collective imaginaries.

This publication, designed by Hans Bol, contains a text on Lynch’s
photography practice in relation to the Bauhaus movement by Torsten Blume
Artistic and Research Associate, and Curator of Bauhaus Foundation Dessau.
