Dorothea Douglas studied Art and Visual History in Berlin and Basel. She joined the “Organizing Architectures” team from Humboldt University of Berlin, where she worked at both the Chair for the History and Theory of Form and the Forschungsstelle Das Technische Bild. Coming from critical image studies, Dorothea is particularly interested in the historic and cultural contingencies of sight and perception. In addition to her work at the RTG, Dorothea is a member of the Arbeitskreis Ästhetik und Medienkultur at the Institute for Social Research, as well as the GRADE initiative Ästhetik demokratischer Lebensformen at Goethe University Frankfurt. Most recently she served as Project Coordinator at the 12th Berlin Biennial’s Curators Workshop. At the RTG she will be pursuing a doctorate in Art History entitled Eine Abfolge von Handlungsschritten. Die Treppenhallen der niederen Gerichtsbarkeit als neuer Interaktionstopos.
