Untitled is a 1988 ink by Hanne Darboven, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows six black-and-white city scenes stacked in two rows of three. Each picture looks like an old photo of a street with buildings, people, and a tram. Red handwritten notes fill the space between the images—lists of numbers, dates, and words in German. The notes seem unrelated to the pictures at first glance. But they might be a way to organize time or memory, like a private code. The artist layered these images and words to create something new. Next, check out Hanne Darboven to see how she mixed art and personal systems.
