Ramona Schacht studied photography in Heidi Specker's class at the HGB Leipzig until 2020, Luca Bublik completed his doctorate at the Bauhaus University in Weimar. Both live in Leipzig. Ramona Schacht's artistic work functions through a collaborative research, in which a dialogically appropriate artistic translation is developed through research and image questioning. Luca Bublik recently worked with the Zentrum für Optimistische Bergbauforschung in Leipzig to reflect the way we deal with an uncomfortable cultural heritage.
In their joint artistic research, the two are interested in the particular constellation of female-dominated work in the former GDR and the Soviet Union and have been working in factory archives in Leipzig, Kyiv and Tashkent since 2020. For their examination of image and text archives, Ramona Schacht and Luca Bublik choose an image-critical and analytical approach in order to highlight organizational systems and the mostly invisible female workers.
