'PARASITES!' comprises photographic positions that illustrate how a young generation of artists is dealing with the diverse challenges of our present through their work, research and experimentations. The term 'parasites' plays a central role in this case: as a reproach from the right-wing populists against artists and as an expression of deep incomprehension for their work. With both irony and intelligence, the students from Ricarda Roggan's class revolve around this term and the question of the meaning of freedom of art today. Their reactions and interventions are as multifaceted as the current reality is complex. Photography is used in analogue, digital and generated form and accompanied by both performances and sculptural objects. Their perceived alienation sharpens the eye for details that are quickly overlooked in everyday life and constantly refocuses it.
In Mexico, for example, Leonard Elfert finds bizarre hybrids of vegetation and radio masts whose origins are hard to clarify. Jerry Ahn, on the other hand, withdraws to her room for three days and packs everything she finds there in inexpensive wrapping paper. And Fatih Cimdiken leads us into the dramatic landscape of his homeland as a centaur and turns Turkish children's songs into sombre chants. |

With the exhibition series "La jeune photographie allemande", the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation and the Goethe-Institut Paris have been promoting young photographers at German universities since 2018, showing current trends in photography. Each year, students from a selected university or academy are invited to present their work in an exhibition at the Goethe-Institut Paris.
After a presentation by Martin Liebscher’s photography class at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach (HfG) in 2018 and one by Heidi Specker’s Master’s students at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (HGB) in 2019, Adam Broomberg’s and Oliver Chanarin’s photography class at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg (HFBK) in 2021, Beate Gütschow’s photography class at Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne in 2022 and students from Ute Mahler and Marit Herrmann at the Ostkreuzschule Berlin followed in 2023. |
