How do images make social and political realities tangible? What knowledge do they convey? And how are they themselves involved in the production of reality? The exhibition It' s not about nothing presents cinematic and photographic works that use documentary means to question the visible. They take us to different places: a Nazi fortress in the south of France or a tomato plantation in Apulia, a prefabricated housing estate in Halle or the interior of the Statue of Liberty in New York, a publishing house in Sarajevo or a square in Bratislava.
With works by Azra Akšamija, Éric Baudelaire, Margret Hoppe, Sharon Lockhart, Christian Nyampeta, Marcel Odenbach, Artūras Raila, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Michael Scheffer, Maya Schweizer, Shirana Shahbazi, Andrzej Steinbach and Anna Witt from the GfZK collection as well as loans from Clemens von Wedemeyer
