THE EXHIBITION

Dreams and reality, fiction, realities, images. The works shown in this exhibition focus on the medium of photography and its relationship to reality and fiction. On display are works by students and teachers from the photography department at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences. They each deal with specific subjects, working on physicality in the image, photographic diaries and images of reality, as well as editorial photography, photochemical or photogrammetric processes.

The lecturers Mareike Foecking, Nina Ditscheid, Mark Hermenau, Moritz Krauth, Andreas Langfeld, Hartmut Nägele and Morgaine Schäfer cover a broad spectrum of different genres and concepts of photography. A diversity that is at the heart of the teaching of photography at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences.

The exhibition provides an overview of the various concepts and genres of photography and thus refers to a historical exhibition, documenta 6, in which photography was shown for the first time in such a broad artistic context. The students add a multitude of contemporary photographic positions to the idea and concept of this historical exhibition. Through the diversity of the positions, a contemporary constitution of the photographic is made visible.
