Home Again

About

The artists look at answers that are formulated to the global transformation processes. How do people find each other during and after crises? How back to her center? Like your, maybe new, home? Adaptation as a means of perpetuating our community.  

The triad of migration | Home | Memory forms the center around which the individual positions are grouped. The medium of photography becomes an instrument with which the photographers look far beyond the documentary, right down to the ideal. The works shown formulate and pursue strategies that appear relevant against the background of global transformation processes. There are elementary issues such as climate change and the associated degradation of habitats or mass migration and the resulting fragmentation of our society.  

The disappearance of familiar structures, such as those we have experienced during social distancing, is frightening, but it also gives us the drive and freedom to formulate new and more coherent orders and thus to find a new home. Such clarification processes and questions are the focus of this exhibition. 

Resisting powerlessness, finding the strength to abandon familiar patterns and find yourself in new realities is one response to these crises. With all our resilience, we live in symbiosis with these challenges. This is what defines us as human beings and brings us together as a community. This is how we approach even the most existential threats. 
 
It's worth taking a close look and finding out which solutions the community favors. Because it is such answers that reveal a lot about values, understanding, longings and our coexistence.
