In an age saturated with images through digitalization and smartphones, and where AI is challenging the photography industry, this exhibition brings the irreplaceable creative essence of photography into focus. It highlights what AI can never mimic: the human touch of attitude and creativity. Curated by esteemed gallerist Vivian Laux-Eggert, the exhibition brings together 14 photographic artists from different galleries to present a captivating selection. Offering fresh perspectives and unexpected insights into a variety of subjects, the exhibition pushes the boundaries of traditional genres such as travel and reportage photography. On view are remarkable works.
The venue, formerly a department store at the beginning of Mönckebergstraße, was transformed into the creative hub Jupiter several months ago, bringing together art, culture, fashion, music, drinks, and design. The Jupiter first floor on the second level showcases rotating exhibitions of high-quality art across 1,400 square meters. Admission is free, and the exhibited works are available for purchase. This remarkable endeavor is generously supported by the Fonds for Kreative Zwischennutzung.
The show is on display till September 24, 2023 in Hamburg.
