The exhibition by the Ostkreuzschule’s first Mahler Class brings together 16 photographic approaches. Over the course of the one-year seminar, the participants developed documentary projects under the guidance of Ute and Werner Mahler. Their observational and socially conscious perspective is reflected in a variety of contemporary themes—ranging from everyday life and social change to the search for identity in the 21st century.
With works by Nina Brand, Mischa Christen, Johanna Eckhardt, Tobias Gelb, Sven M. Gerhardt, Lena Giovanazzi, Nikolas Hagele, Nancy Jesse, Gökhan Kayal, Elvira Kolerow, Vanessa Nicette, Christina Sacher, Mieke Strand, Katja Strempel, Thomas Tiltmann, Heike Zappe.
