Is contemporary photography interested in the complexity of industrial production processes, in technical inventiveness? How does it approach industrial worlds and technological developments? International artists, among them young new discoveries, thematize work, science and research. They deal with industrial progress as an impetus for social development and at the same time explore the cultural, economic and social effects of human engagement on our world. The spectrum ranges from socially critical perceptions to fascination and amazement at inventions and at the energies of human beings to design the future.

The exhibition in the BlackBox was curated by Dr. Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek and Dr. Petra Giloy-Hirtz.
