In our society, the consumption of visual information is often characterised by algorithms that promote a one-sided representation. Those who profit from structural inequalities often control the dissemination of these images and reinforce existing stereotypes and interpretations. How can photography challenge biased truths, particularly in relation to identity?
Ulli Gabler and Dieter Ströbel transform the historic restroom facility at the Wildenbruchbrücke into a visually imaginative realm of possibilities. Employing mirrors and light tubes, they utilize a minimal selection of materials reminiscent of those found in similar locales.

The project You are among us, we are among you explores the theme of urban waters and shows the influence of humans on this habitat.
How can something as technical as Artificial Intelligence – often associated with our alienation from Nature – help us listen to and communicate with non-human beings?
A fictional exhibition, with traces of an imaginary underground space, while at the same the illusion of a running club is deconstructed and simulated.
