“In one of ’s ground-floor galleries, Nolan Lucidi () presents his first institutional solo exhibition, ‘Bildersaal’ (Picture Gallery). The title borrows from the museum’s own original signage, still intact above the gallery’s entrance. Seventy years on, it remains accurate, announcing precisely what awaits inside: a room of images, and images of rooms.”

OUT NOW: Mohamed Bourouissa – Pour Noubia

The publication spans a wide geographical as well as geopolitical arc around places of biographical significance for artist Mohamed Bourouissa (): from his aunt Noubia’s last home in Osnabrück, Germany, through the suburbs of Paris, where he lives today, to his family’s hometown in Blida, Algeria.

Drawing on the format of the photo album, the book breathes life into this layered history. It brings together largely unpublished images and newly commissioned texts that situate both Noubia’s life and Bourouissa’s practice within broader historical and social contexts.

The project takes its starting point in the photo albums of Bourouissa’s aunt, Noubia Meyer, whose images and voice recordings—collected before her death in 2022—form the core of this deeply personal new body of work. When in 2025, on behalf of , curator Oriane Durand () invited Bourouissa to put together a major solo exhibition, it became an important step for him to integrate his aunt’s story—as Osnabrück is very close to Herford—into this commission.

Further developed in a second iteration at in Zurich (June 2026), the project expands an intimate family history into a broader reflection on memory, migration, and the postcolonial condition.

Published in collaboration with and , the book features Yasmin Naderi Afschar (), Oriane Durand (), Kathleen Rahn (), and Marie Robin.
