Mo Diener - Hologram

Description

Press release
Mo Diener – Hologram From August 29 to December 13, 2026
Opening: Friday, August 28, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. From August 29 to December 13, 2026, the Rehmann Museum in Laufenburg presents the extensive exhibition "Hologram" by Zurich-based artist Mo Diener. The exhibition spans four decades of artistic creation and combines personal archive work with archaeological research. The new hologram *The Archaeologist* plays a central role in the exhibition. As a 3D audiovisual narrative, it acts as a portal transporting visitors directly from the present to another era. The starting point of this work was a spectacular archaeological find in Lake Zug. In close collaboration with an archaeologist, a hydrologist, and a musician, Mo Diener has created a narrative that intertwines research, visionary dreams, and documentary traces in a fluid journey through time. Around this work, a multifaceted cosmos of videos, objects, and photographs unfolds. Diener, active as a performance and media artist since the late 1980s, combines her own work, with an archival approach, with local findings from Laufenburg and its surroundings. This creates a dynamic dialogue between her transdisciplinary practice and the specific history of the place. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive monograph (in German and English), published by Scheidegger & Spiess. About the artist

The exhibition covers four decades of artistic creation and combines research in personal archives with archaeological trail hunting. The core of the exhibition is the new hologram "The Archaeologist." As a 3D audiovisual narrative, it serves as a portal that immediately transports visitors out of the present and into another era. The starting point of this work was a spectacular archaeological discovery in Lake Zug. In close collaboration with an archaeologist, a fluvial surveyor, and a musician, Mo Diener has created a narrative that interweaves research, visionary dreams, and documentary evidence in a fluid journey through time. Around this work, a multifaceted universe of videos, objects, and photographs unfolds. Diener, who has been working as a performance and media artist since the late 1980s, combines her own work, with an archival approach, with objects found in Laufenburg and its surroundings. This generates a dynamic dialogue between her transdisciplinary practice and the specific history of the place.
