Oscar Lebeck_Art Residency in Nanjing China_2025 Winter

Oscar Lebeck’s residency film captures a profound research of historical imprints. As a German artist who focuses on the "structural remains" of cultural sites, Lebeck moves between photography and research-based imagery to capture the subtle threads hidden beneath historical narratives. During his residency in Nanjing in winter 2025, Lebeck centers his practice on the historical landscape of the 1930s. By engaging with private photo archives of German expats and documents related to John Rabe, he seeks to reconstruct a visual logic of history that exists between the seen and the unseen. For Lebeck, photographs are not only cold evidence, but the very foundation upon which meaning is interpreted and produced. The film shows how Lebeck utilizes these archival fragments as points of departure, repositioning them within a new visual and historical constellation. Following his creative trajectory in Nanjing, audience can see how historical traces are re-situated within a contemporary context. It is more than a reiteration of the archives; it is a profound meditation on Nanjing’s history, articulated through the transformative power of artistic practice.
