Art Düsseldorf 2026

Selection: Photography & Identities:

Explores historical and contemporary discourses on identity through photography.
As a contemporary medium, photography engages with the concept of identity and mirrors the rich diversity of human (as well as non-human) existence. Photographic works play a pivotal role in documenting both historical and contemporary dialogues surrounding identity, challenging stereotypes, conventions, and societal norms. They delve into explorations of gender, sexuality, race, heritage, architecture, and environment as influential factors in the formation of one’s identity.
