Opening: »Time and Again« & »Photographing Photography«

The exhibition »Time and Again« brings together four autobiographical narratives shaped by political decisions, social power relations, and historical upheavals. Their research takes the photographers back to places of memory; they document traces left behind by violence, oppression, and social injustice. This creates media spaces that tell more than just personal stories. They address the consequences of exercised power and systemic violence and how they are inscribed in private life.

The exhibition »Photographing Photography« explores the question of how photography is made visible in the medium itself. The exhibits cover around 100 years of the pre-digital era in the form of an installation. The selection is based on a thematic review of the Deutsche Fotothek’s collection of around 6 million photographs. On display are the photographic situation and practice, technology and materials, as well as studios and display cases as places of production and distribution. Photographers often sought out these subjects deliberately, reflecting on their own work, while sometimes they became the subject of the image unintentionally.
