One minute and thirty seconds is the average length allotted to a news feature. For more than ten years, artist Monika Huber has been photograph- ing images from daily news reports that bear witness to protest, riots, war and violence, as well as their conse- quences. She saves the images digital- ly, prints them out and reworks them by means of painting and drawing.Over the years, an archive has been created; it reveals a "grammar" of news images and invites us to examine the crisis reporting of television news in a critical way. This selection of over 100 images from the archive is accom- panied by contributions positioning Archive OneThirty from art-historical, philosophical, political-scientific and journalistic perspectives.
