On Men in Shades

In Men in Shades, Jonas Höschl traces he changing meaning of a pair of sunglasses, from the courtroom of the Nuremberg Trials to he worlds of photograpy, pop culture, fashion, and collection. Through historical photographhs, archival material, and contemporary works, the exhibition explores how images shape our understanding of the past. At its centre is the paradox of an object that once protected its wearers from the very light that made them visible to the camera. Eighty years laterm Höschl asks how objects, images, and memories continue to change as they move through different historical and cultural contexts.
