About
Never have more people lived on Earth, never has our impact on the planet been greater, never have we been more closely interconnected than today—moreover, our society is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Civilization: The Way We Live Now follows humanity’s visible traces around the globe from the perspective of more than 100 internationally renowned photographers. The exhibition sheds light on various aspects of our highly complex coexistence—from humankind’s
great achievements to our collective failings.
In the year of its 40th anniversary, Kunsthalle München is dedicating this exhibition to the question of how we live today, illustrating both civilization’s diversity and contradictions.
Civilization was initiated by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Korea, and the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis/Lausanne. Since 2018, it has been featured in Seoul, Beijing, Melbourne, London, and Taipei, among others. The exhibition is now presented at the Kunsthalle München in an updated form and complemented by many works addressing current issues such as the COVID pandemic and artificial intelligence. In 2026, the exhibition will be on view at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, Switzerland.
