In the organizer's words:
Platform 3 entices with a timetable change: in the rear third of the central hall, the exhibition space also presents the work of young photographers beyond the larger exhibition and festival projects.
Whether discovered in passing or specifically targeted, Platform 3 is an uncomplicated and easily accessible place to browse and explore. It bridges waiting times and creates connections in the exploration of contemporary photography. In 2026, everything revolves around (post-)colonialism. It begins with the work "Lüderitz" by Tim Gassauer, which focuses on two places that are around 12,000 kilometers apart and yet bear the same name: Lüderitz in northern Saxony-Anhalt and Lüderitz in southwestern Namibia. In his long-term work, photographer Tim Gassauer reconstructs the shared naming history of the two places, revealing their links with the German colonial era in present-day Namibia.
Tim Gassauer (*1997 in Nordhausen) is a photographer who lives between Chemnitz and Berlin. In 2024, he graduated from the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie, where he studied under Göran Gnaudschun. He is currently enrolled in the Master's program "Visual Strategies and Stories" at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, where he studies under Prof. Stephanie Kiwitt. Previously, he earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Political Science at the Free University of Berlin, an academic foundation that continues to inform his artistic approach.
In his bachelor's thesis, he explored the photographic representation of suffering, particularly in relation to the construction of the "other". Since then, the themes of power and identity have been at the heart of his work. His research-oriented practice moves between documentary and art photography, combining historical traces with contemporary discourses and exploring questions of memory, belonging and violence.
