\nUntil
\nan official term for the media phenomenon ‘Zeigerpointer’ has been
\nfound, this place holder describes a widespread form of representation
\nused by the print media. This has until now neither been perceived nor
\ndefined as a specific form. With the collection (www.monochrom.at\/zeigerpointer<\/a>) and the sequence of images ‘Zeigerpointer’, monochrom wants to contribute to the examination of the ‘Zeigerpointer’ as a category of
\nrepresentational aesthetics. <\/p>\n

The ‘Zeigerpointer’ is defined as
\nimages (in the scope of printed media reporting) of crime scenes,
\nlocations of accidents as well as other locations in which some kind of
\nthing has happened that can no longer be seen because the reported
\nhappening is already over and no traces are visible (either because none
\nwere produced or because they were already removed during the
\nreinstatement of the status quo). Because in these cases there is
\nnothing to take a picture of, the photo journalist generally asks
\ncertain people \u2013 eyewitnesses, concerned parties or somebody in charge \u2013
\nto point to the spot where ‘it’ happened. ‘Zeigerpointers’ can
\nunambiguously be defined with a couple of criteria they have to fulfil
\nand therefore distinguish them from other pictures of people pointing at
\nsomething. The reported event must not be visible through any other
\nmeans than the pointing at the spot where ‘it’ happened. <\/p>\n

monochrom
\nhas been collecting such images for several years in the form of
\nnewspaper clippings (which ideally should also contain the captions), at
\nfirst from Austrian print media, later some international exhibits were
\nalso added. They are published on their website (after diligently
\nascertaining their validity) and in the form of e-mailings and word of
\nmouth we regularly call for entries. <\/p>\n

With the project ‘The
\nwonderful world of absence’ monochrom wants to present the findings of
\nthis media-cultural archaeology to the public for the first time, also
\nchanging the media, in the form of an exhibition. The exhibits will be
\nselected examples painted in oil.\n<\/p>\n
