Moritz Neumüller
Imagine(d) History





Today, History is not merely written, documented, believed and taught. It can be artificially produced, ranked, sampled, commented on, screenshotted, and remixed. In this sense, credibility no longer stems exclusively from truth or institutional authority, but from an unstable interplay of hearsay, repetition, social proximity and platform design.

Some people seem to trust their favourite influencers or even machine-generated content that circulates within the filter bubbles more than established institutions or experts in the field.
We could thus speak of a 'synthetic consensus' on an artificially constructed 'truth' based on what many people believe they know or think they remember.
This exhibition presents a dozen photobooks that tell History and histories, juxtaposed with a large-format collage intended to illustrate how historiography
functions today.


The photobooks are displayed in open display cases and were selected jointly by Adam Mazur and Moritz Neumüller. These publications are not merely examples of 'historical photography', but demonstrate how a photobook can convey history... with all the advantages and disadvantages of an artistic visual medium.

The opposite wall is conceived as a visual conceptual diagram, a field of research in the form of a collage. Not a traditional explanatory museum text, but rather a simulation of how historiography emerges today within open, unstable digital systems.
