What a Family! is a solo exhibition by Berlin-based photographer and media artist Ruthe Zuntz, developed through archival research, spatial narration, and exhibition design. Initially joining the project during my time at Public Art Lab, I later continued contributing to the exhibition as a freelancer.
Throughout the project, I took part in the exhibition process from beginning to end, contributing to both the spatial design of the exhibition and the overall development of its narrative structure.
The exhibition explores themes of memory, displacement, family history, and intergenerational traces through archival materials, photographs, mapping studies, and spatial interventions. The process focused on translating fragmented historical material into a spatial experience, investigating how absence, memory, and historical continuity can be communicated through scenographic and spatial strategies.
Through research, exhibition production, data organization, and spatial development, the archive was approached not only as a historical source, but also as an active medium capable of reconstructing collective memory through space.
