“Zum Schäfchen, Recherche Nord (POV)” (2026) is a multimedia installation by Jonas Höschl that reflects on the working conditions of the anti-fascist journalist collective Recherche Nord. The starting point is body cam footage of two attacks by the right-wing extremist publicist Götz Kubitschek in front of the restaurant “Zum Schäfchen” in Schnellroda, Saxony-Anhalt, a central meeting place for the New Right. The artist superimposes these and makes them spatially tangible through color-coded floor markings and wooden displays. At the center of the installation, two screens show the point-of-view video footage of the attacked photographer. The spatial situation places the viewers in a constant shib between the perspective of a victim and that of a neutral observer. This raises fundamental questions about the authenticity of documentary material and its contextualization.

"Europe is lost (...) leaves an oppressive feeling. One photo shows a man whose face is completely masked, another wears dark sunglasses and smokes.", from the article "Nie wieder!" by Amelie Völker in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, July 05, 2020
