Each photographer is represented by one selected picture. In this project, Thomas Kellner invited one hundred photographers world wide for this juried exhibition. Out of more than a hundred submissions, the jury (comprised of Thomas Gerwers, Profifoto, Germany; Michael Mazzeo, peer Gallery, New York; Irina Tchmyreva, Moscow Museum of Modern Art and Thomas Kellner, project coordinator) selected 26 photos for the exhibition in Siegen.
The exhibition shows work by artists that are at the same time on a similar path like Thomas Kellner. He gives us the opportunity to see images of his colleagues, whom he meets at festivals and other events somewhere in the world. The photographs are as different as the individuals who make them. There is figurative work, architectural, abstract and experimental photography. Each photograph shows a different female view into our world: poetic images, collaged imaginations, dreams, perceptions and newly created realities. The end result is a collection of contemporary work and a network, where photographers can connect and help each other in building their careers.
The exhibition is accompanied by a printed portfolio in PROFIFOTO, Germany, showing all the selected images.
