The abducted photo by Diango Hernández This text accompanies the lonelyifngers exhibition Apparently Yours
The history of lies is far more interesting than the history of truths. What would happen if one day all lies become the new truths? Unfortunately this is neither a supposition nor a prediction, in fact it seems to be our present…

“To the promise” by Timotheus Vermeulen This text accompanies the lonelyifngers experience Apparently Yours
The model invoked by Apparently Yours appraises the joy of the find, of the discovery. I remember well Anne and Diango’s joy when they found the pictures. They were elated.

Two swans side by side on a mirror…

Fingers – Part of the body, a gesture, a clip, a film and back again by Yilmaz Dziewior for TheFindsPaper#1
One may assume a finger can never be lonely. Usually it belongs to a bunch of five quite close to each other. Each of these short little limbs has at least four companions, not to mention the five others on the hand. So compare this to the loneliness of the head or the heart! But…

Lost, Lonely and Found by Jade Niklai for TheFindsPaper#1
The raison d’être of the artist-led collective, lonelyfingers and its first exhibition Konversationsstücke at the Museum Abteiberg, are timely redefinitions of the use of objet trouvé[1] and the role of the artist-as- curator. Founded by the Düsseldorf-based artists, Anne Pöhlmann and Diango Hernández, lonelyfingers examines the process, rather than the outcome of contemporary art production.…
