„A Tale of Guardians and Angels“ tells a multi-voiced story about acts of protection and assistance. This interdisciplinary group exhibition brings together eight artistic practices that explore the various facets of the need for protection and companionship.
This deeply human longing does not appear here as a stable state, but rather as a fragile relationship between care and control, as well as security and threat. The different positions open up a shared dialogue that understands protection as a relational practice and formulates it as an open question regarding coexistence.
This longing becomes palpable especially in a present where it seems as though something might take precedence over the right to protection.

As part of the @hfbkphotography group exhibition „570km, 50 by 70cm“ in @muzeumsztuki at @fotofestiwal

The group exhibition by the photography class from HFBK Hamburg centers around a shared object: a standardized aluminum frame (50 × 70 cm, with glass), available in multiple identical copies. These frames were given to the class as a gift – a simple gesture that sparked the idea for this collective project. Each artistic position is invited to engage with the frame – not merely as a container for an image, but as a conceptual and material point of departure.
The project questions the conventions of photographic and artistic display and explores the frame as object, as border, as medium, and as metaphor. Through a collective conceptual approach, each work opens up a self-referential dialogue with the act of exhibiting itself. The process plays a central role. Rather than presenting finalized works, the project embraces the unfinished, the provisional, and the shifting nature of artistic production. The logistical and physical movement of the frames becomes part of the narrative too – working, transporting, installing, and reflecting are understood as intertwined steps in an open process.
Receiving the frames – and responding to them – becomes part of the story. What begins as a gift turns into an invitation.

We are happy to announce the coming exhibition „How to make a place a place“ 🏘️

Opening: 11 April 2025 from 19:00

Exhibition duration:
12.04. - 20.04.2025
Opening hours:
Tue, Fri, Sat, Sun from 14:00 to 19:00

The exhibition „How to make a place a place“ tells a polyphonic, contemporary story about our desire for localisation. Places are not fixed, they are created and change through memory, longing, exclusion and belonging. At a time when connections to places seem increasingly complex and at the same time fragile, the question arises: How do places shape us - and how do we shape them?
Eight artistic positions examine how places are conceived, negotiated and claimed and what traces they leave behind in us. With Omid Arabbay, Mina Barmani, Hande Emirmahmutoğlu, Lam Funke, Leonidas Kosmidis, Ida Nommerga, Yoav Perry, Aylin Scheer.
