Organizers about the exhibition:

In dialogue with self-portraits and self-stagings by Sophie Thun, the exhibition "Trails and Tributes" at Kunstverein Hildesheim shows photographic images from the archive of the artist Zenta Dzividzinska (ZDZ), who died in 2011. Thun artistically appropriated the works of the Latvian photographer during a research stay in Riga. It is an attempt to make visible the little-known and partly never exposed pictures of Zenta Dzividzinska, who was one of only two women in the Riga photo club during her lifetime and who has been denied wider public recognition until today.
