Achim Hennecke: "Verrückte Freiheiten"

In the organizer's words:

"Crazy Freedoms" uses everyday observations to examine contemporary characteristics of freedom. Achim Hennecke's photographs, taken over more than a decade, show situations that refer to desires for freedom and (in)freedoms that are perceived as normal. Between subtle longings, self-imposed restrictions and familiar situations, it becomes clear that freedom is not absolute. Rather, it reveals itself as subjective, one-sided, fleeting and negotiable. The associative works invite us to think beyond the obvious. They illustrate questions about the understanding of freedom: How do we think and live freedom? How do we use it to actively shape things? Which lack of freedom do we accept and which do we not? Where are meaningful boundaries? Which freedoms are important to us and how do we guarantee them in the long term? The portfolio of "Crazy Freedoms" contains further photographs that correspond with the freedom motifs and take up latently bizarre to unexpectedly aesthetic moments of the present.
