Daniela Comani
Originally from Bologna, Daniela Comani has lived and worked in Berlin since 1989. Her multimedia installations exploit the malleability of digital imagery to reveal protean definitions of gender and history. Using photos and texts from newspapers, television, and books that at first appear familiar to us, she explores foreignness and intimacy, history and interpretation, and the mechanisms of comprehension. Her work has been shown internationally and is included in the permanent collections of Museum on the Seam, Jerusalem, Museo d'Arte Moderna, Bologna, and Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin. Selected recent exhibitions include the San Marino Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale (2011), 366 Days, 52 Bookcovers, and 1 Happy Couple, Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles (2011), C'était moi. Journal 1900-1999, Centre d'Art Passerelle, Brest (2010), and Ich war's. In 32 Tagen um den Alexanderplatz. 1805-2007, NGBK, U2 Alexanderplatz, Berlin (2007).

It Was Me. Diary 1900-1999 presents one hundred years of history out of any chronological order presented in the first person. It is in essence a diary of the twentieth century written as though all the events actually involved the author. From one day to the next, from one report to the next, she is a passive witness, then an activist, then victim, then perpetrator. In this way she is seemingly the initiator of these twentieth-century historical events. It Was Me. Diary 1900-1999, which has been produced in English, French, Italian, and German, exists in three versions: as a large digital print on vinyl cloth, as an audio-installation, and as a book.
