FOTOAUSSTELLUNG + OPENING : THIS IS NOT A STORY

In the organizer's words:

The project class for artistic-documentary photography under the direction of Robin Hinsch invites you to the vernissage in the new premises of the Academy of Photography on May 22. There will be drinks and tacos! Bring a friend!

What stays, what's happening - and what do we leave behind in landscapes, cities, stories and relationships?

The works on display refuse to provide simple answers and instead enable different approaches to a complex present. In a time in which almost everything seems to be sayable or tellable, but also explainable, the positions show what eludes a clear "narrative". The works tell of transformation, of personal and collective identities, of socio-political participation and loss, of places, nature and people that are changing. The exhibition is a plea for the complexity of the world, which cannot be captured in simple stories. And it provides insights into processes - not to dissolve them, but to make their complexity visible. What can be seen remains open and challenges viewers to question their own perspectives.

The various photographic positions have been conceived and photographed in exchange with Robin Hinsch on a freely chosen artistic-documentary theme. In a monthly rotation - in a mixture of lecture and colloquium - the works were accompanied within the 10-month project class and the results were discussed in the group.
