A central aspect of Isa Rosenberger’s artistic practice is the contextualisation of historical events in our present world, i.e. how a re-telling of history and the established narrative influences, extends or calls into question our view of history. The main artistic method used by Isa Rosenberger follows the principle of montage, counterposing media images, narration and temporality. The documentary form undergoes multi-perspectival consolidation through a combination of archival material, mise-en-scène, performative (re)enactment, and dialogical formatting in the sense of oral history.
