The uncanny eludes clear definition. What is perceived as uncanny depends on the individual and on the social and technical-historical context. Something uncanny remains hidden, not revealed, and yet it is repeatedly evoked through images and motion, through motifs or formal aspects that turn the familiar into something unrecognizable and yet somehow memorable, appearing to turn the securely familiar into something ambiguous.
The exhibition evokes secret fears both visually and acoustically and – for the duration of the show – turns the EDITH-RUSS-HAUS for Media Art into an uncanny space where the appetite for the hidden horrors of technology can be constantly re-experienced and reconsidered. Because, as Stefan Germer said, “To know an object better does not at all mean to make it less terrifying.”
