Now what? exhibition review at Düsseldorf photo+, Galerie Nidus Kosmos

„The third exhibition shows six different photographic positions on urbanity in transition. „Now what?“ circles around places in Düsseldorf, representative of most post-war German cities whose future is uncertain. Whether opera house or the art academy, all chosen places and buildings are the focus of public debate. The future scenarios that have partly already been visualized blur the lines between today and tomorrow. For this exhibition, explicitly only photographers were selected that are not familiar with Düsseldorf to gain an unbiased artistic glance at the city and the places in discussion. With a focus on existing situations, the exhibition raises questions about the appropriateness of intervention and the social relevance of these places in the future taking into account their historical background.“
