What does the term "home" mean today? Is there still a »home« in the 21st century? What is connected with this term and which images does it evoke? What social structures shape and form places?
Free of conventions, the exhibition deals with the concept of "home" in the face of a globalized society in which the question of the identity of the individual arises.
On display are works from the late 1950s to the present, including Peter Bialobrzeski, Tacita Dean, William Eggleston, Olafur Eliasson and Stephen Shore. They show home as an archaic landscape, as an idealized memory, as a temporary location, as a social structure.
Reprints of the original photographs by the Berlin-based American Will McBride from the 1960s, as well as the pictures by the recently deceased Arno Fischer, are haunting portraits of society. In addition to Fischer, the exhibition also includes other important representatives of East German photography before the Wall came down, such as Sibylle Bergemann, Helga Paris and Ulrich Wüst. Andy Warhol's tableau "Social Disease" - snapshots from the 1970s for a then unrealized exhibition project - capture moments in the life of famous personalities.
