Jeronimo Voss, phantasmagorical horizon, Phantasmagorischer Horizont

The artist book „Phantasmagorical Horizon“ by Jeronimo Voss translates his exhibition of the same title at MMK Zollamt, Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main on to transparent paper pages. Phantasmagoria originated as a Magic Lantern show, between spectacle and scientific education, after the French Revolution in Paris. Institutional media history often relates to it as the Prehistory of Cinema. “Phantasmagorical Horizon” develops a different story. In it, Voss' full-dome projection “Eternity through the Stars”, first shown at dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, or the slide show “In Dependent Gravity” appear as translucent montages of texts and images. Furthermore, authors Astrid Mania, Christiane Ketteler and Chris Tedjasukmana took the exhibition as a starting point for their book contributions on Phantasmagoria.
