Rachel Khedoori's works appear poetic and light, fragmentary and fragile at the same time. They encourage attentive viewing and reflection on architecture and spatial processes. In her lecture, Brigitte Sölch will consider the extent to which the experience of the exhibited works can be related to philosophical reflections on practices of seeing (Eva Schürmann) and art that makes something appear (Hannah Arendt) - and will include sculptural works by artists that allude to the house and thus evoke a variety of associations with the relationship between interior and exterior space, belonging and homelessness, individual and collective memory.

Brigitte Sölch (*1969 in Kempten) is a German art and architecture historian and has been Professor of Architectural and Modern Art History at the University of Heidelberg since 2021. Her research focuses on architectural and visual history between the early modern period and the present, with a particular focus on the public sphere, the history of ideas and the role of women art historians.
