Welttheater '79', 1979

Hanne Darboven's Welttheater '79' follows a stringent conceptual order. Two-thirds of each sheet in this edition is colored deep black, while a white isosceles triangle in the right-hand half of the picture draws the eye to a collaged scene. Within this section appear advertising figures bearing the logo of the traditional family business IWE Darboven. The consecutive numbering of the sheets corresponds to the days of a calendar year and is supplemented by a single title page. With this work, Darboven combines her characteristic time structure with biographical and economic-historical references.
