One minute and thirty seconds. That is the average length of a news item in a news programme such as ‘Tagesthemen’ or ‘Heute Journal’. Monika Huber has been creating a digital archive of news images - the One Thirty archive - since the beginning of 2011, when the Arab Spring began.

It documents global political and social change in its media reflection and image narrative construction.
Conceived as a long-term documentation, it currently comprises around 40,000 photographs. Huber has selected images from these, edited them by overpainting or exaggerating them, or transformed them into a video.

In doing so, the artist picks up on the images that are usually lost in the daily flood of news in order to make them visible, tangible and reflective in a new way by editing them. The media images she selects repeatedly show people as protesting and revolting actors, as subjects and objects of political and public, often violent and warlike events.
