WE ARE...

Globalisation phenomena can be recorded scientifically and expressed in figures. The effects on the global community, on the other hand, are more difficult to depict: Relationships between people remain opaque - regardless of whether they take place in spatial proximity or are mediated across spatial distances through the [...]

SIS+BROS

AND "EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING [...]".

Photography has become a global visual language like no other medium. It is read, exchanged and communicated across cultural borders. Since its invention, it has constructed our view of the world. However, it does not only act as a universal medium of information and communication. Photography also serves to visualise our [...]

DISSECTING GLOBALITY

Utopia, dystopia or long since reality? The concept of "globality" must be negotiated from different angles in order to be able to reflect on its effects and dimensions. Is globality the consequence of world-spanning technological, social and cultural networks? Can its traces already be experienced in local [...]

ALL IN THE SAME...

...boat, container, club, train, net, etc. Eight students from the Ruhrakademie shed light on global phenomena and omnipresent networks.

POINT OF...

UTOPIA

The term "Utopia", coined by Sir Thomas Morus in 1516, describes a society in which common ideologies and principles apply and in which the value of private property and money is to be abolished. Since the 1960s, a variety of communities around the world have attempted to translate this abstract intellectual notion into [...]

DON'T WE KNOW EACH OTHER?

As part of the photo project "Don't we know each other?", a cooperation with the Dortmund Adult Education Centre was initiated for the first time. In several courses, the global was to be made tangible in the local. Finally approaching each other again and seeking new encounters. Portrait photography in particular was the [...]

DIS/APPEAR

The starting point is the idea of total visibility of the world through photographic images. The sheer mass and immediate dissemination, however, makes everything depicted equally unimportant and invisible. So what can photography still achieve in this day and age? The exhibition brings together artists whose works radiate a [...]
