The exhibition questions the limits and possibilities of conventional photography and AI-generated images. Works by outstanding photographers and artists, including members of the Deutsche Fotografische Akademie (German Photographic Academy, DFA), are on display. The presentation is structured thematically: Photography as a school of seeing, with Torsten Schumann and Kurt Buchwald; The photographic portrait as interpersonal interaction with Ursula Kelm and Maren Nordtorp Larsen; The documentary photo as authentic testimony, represented by Patrik Budenz; while the focus with Laurence Chaperon and Matthias Leupold is The photo as a historical document. Jackie Baier guides us through Photography as an experience, while Claus Stolz and Klaus Elle explore Photography = light x matter.
Boris Eldagsen’s The Electrician (2022), an AI-generated image, and Miles Astray’s Flamingone, a photograph, mark the transition to promptography, a new discipline of AI art. In promptography, new realities are created through AI. The Invention of New Bodies shows works by Clint Enns, Placenta Shake, Emi Kusano, Wladimir Sorokin, Arik Weiszmann, Vitaly Komar, and the group Plus, Minus, Comma. In No Humans Have Been Harmed in the Making, AI.S.A.M presents his work. Rosemberg offers New Mashups with The Forbidden Toys, while Inner Spaces offers deeper, digital dimensions with works by Jason M. Allen and Merzmensch. This exhibition invites you to reflect on the changing role of creativity and technology in contemporary image production.
