SCHULZ-DORNBURG, - Yerevan 1996/1997

Background Information

"Ursula SCHULZ-DORNBURG's prolific career has been a leader in documenting man-made environments on the cusp of change and transition. The places she visited were often remote and difficult to access.
In 1996 and 1997, she traveled to Armenia, taking visual notes of remnants of Soviet architecture with a small portable camera as she walked through the capital city of Yerevan. She developed the films when she returned to Germany, and in 2001 edited and compiled the prints into a traditional notebook she had used in Armenian schools, which she had bought back from one of her trips. This handmade sketchbook, 'Yerevan 1996/1997' was then dedicated to her daughter Julia, who was studying architecture at the time.

This publication, 'Yerevan 1996/997' by Ursula SCHULZ-DORNBURG, is a facsimile of the original sketchbook, an 'artist's book' dealing with the history of cultural objects long since dismantled and the actions of the artist as he travels through time and space, documenting and compiling material."
