Unforgettable moments: The production of medial events

The terror attacks from 11.September 2001 in the USA, the football world championship of this summer, the opening of the Berlin wall in 1989 are world-shaking events, which we view primarily through media. Most of these events would be unknown to most of us, had we not heard of them through widespread mass media. Medial events have not only existed since the 20th century, moreover, they have been around considerably longer. The exhibition, which will be shown in co-operation with the postgraduate centre of cultural sciences of the Justus-Liebig University Gießen, broaches the issue of the relationship between media and events in the flux of time and above all tries to explore the question: What makes a happening a media event?
