Publication: Bent Time: The Collapse of Memory, Power, and Masculinity

Paul Haas is a visual artist based between Frankfurt and Brussels. In his practice, he is interested in the question of how inherited aesthetics and cultural habits shape the present. Mainly through the use of moving images, Haas’ work makes historically determined conditions tangible and challenges them. To this end, he uses both documentary and fictional techniques. Based on a research process that includes visits to archives, the examination of theoretical texts and interviews with historical subjects, he develops a network of information from which the artistic work subsequently emerges.

This digital publication was created in connection with Paul Haas’ residency at Art Hub Copenhagen in the spring of 2025. Thanks to Paul Haas and Paola Paleari, writer and freelance curator based in Copenhagen.
