Pasted Topographies

Terrain. Studies on Topographic Visual Media

The joining of individual images or the mounting of papers to form larger sheets can be understood as material responses to the challenges of representing topographies. The combination of topographic images in composite media – albums, travelogues, atlases or picture series coupled with maps – enables complex representations as well as contextualised perceptions of space. This volume brings together case studies in which techniques of gluing and pasting prove essential for the rendering of space in visual media.

Ulrike Boskamp is an art historian based in Berlin, Germany. She is the director of a foundation for contemporary art in Northern Germany and has worked as an associate researcher and teacher at Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte (DFK), Paris and Freie Universität Berlin. Her book on spying accusations against landscape artists, Gefährliche Bilder. Zeichnerinnen und Zeichner unter Spionageverdacht, came out in 2022. Her current research interests concern the interfaces between historic representations of space in the arts and the military, and specifically the visual media and the practices of military reconnaissance. She is one of the four founders of the Network Topographic Visual Media.

Tabea Braun studied sociology, cultural studies and comparative literature at the University of Leipzig and art history at the Philipps-Universität Marburg. With a project on topographical drawing and collecting practices in the long 18th century, she is currently working on her PhD at the DFG Research Training Group Documentary Practices. Excess and Privation at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. She is one of the four founders of the Network Topographic Visual Media.

Amrei Buchholz is Head of Department at the Architectural Archives of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, Germany. After completing her PhD on the representation of space in Alexander of Humboldt’s work at University of the Arts in Berlin, Germany, she was an associate researcher at the University of Hamburg and at the University of Salzburg. Her current work focusses on the links between architectural and topographical representation as well as on collection practices of media that represent space. She is one of the four founders of the Network Topographic Visual Media.

Annette Kranen is an art historian specialised in the fields of mobility, topographic imagery and concepts of space and landscape in early modernity. Her current research focuses on the sacralisation of landscapes in the context of confessionalisation. She gained her doctoral degree from Freie Universität Berlin with a project on travelling artists in the Ottoman Empire in the late 17th and early 18th centuries (Historische Topographien. Bilder europäischer Reisender im Osmanischen Reich um 1700, Wilhelm Fink 2020). Since 2019, she has been teaching at the Institute of Art History of the University of Bern. She is one of the four founders of the Network Topographic Visual Media.
