Abstracts

The central motif of the essay is a critical examination of the archival turn in contemporary art. Through the lens of the notions such as “performativity”, “memory”, and theories devoted to interpreting the archive, the text builds on authors who have explored this phenomenon in contemporary art. The main focus of this essay is on the expanded documentary practice by Lucia Nimcová, her works relocating and reactivating archival photographs, in which I detect emancipatory potential that could possibly inspire those methodologies in art history that deal with the socialist past in Central and Eastern Europe.
