Anlässlich des 10-jährigen Jubiläums der JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION konzipiert der britische Künstler Ed Atkins die Ausstellung GENERATION LOSS. Der Begriff bezeichnet den Prozess der Qualitätsverschlechterung von Daten insbesondere infolge sich verändernder Technologien. Dieser Verlust von Qualität manifestiert sich jedoch auch im ideologischen Sinne, im gesellschaftlichen Wandel von einer Generation zur nächsten. Der Katalog greift diese Analogien auf und nimmt sich der Frage an, wie sich die Rezeption für das Bewegtbild von den 1970er-Jahren bis heute verändert hat. Neben Video- und Filmstills enthält der Katalog historisches Material der gezeigten Werke sowie Installationsansichten der Ausstellung.
