Edition: 7 + 2 AP | | | | | | | | ... until 6 July 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition "SO WHAT!" presents a comprehensive body of work of artist and photographer Susanne Junker. With over 200 photographs, installations and videos, it sheds light on 30 years of creation by this extraordinary artist: from the early self-portraits of the 1990s to her most recent works.
Using her camera as a tool, Susanne Junker, born in 1973, has developed her very own, visually powerful language dedicated to the representation of female identity and the mechanisms of its staging in the media. Her work is characterized by reflections on beauty, gender roles and social power relations - themes that are more topical than ever in an era of digital self-presentation.
Susanne Junker: "I worked as a model in the early 1990s. It was the glamorous era of supermodels, whose perfect physical appearances embodied a beauty standard dominated by the male gaze. These rigid norms were unbearable for me and led me to transform myself from object to author by becoming an artist."
Junker therefore began to put herself in the picture and used the self-portrait as a means of rebellion. With her photographs, she reclaimed her identity and at the same time questioned the world of the media, which she experienced as a model. To this day, Junker's artistic activities revolve around some fundamental questions: Who are we? What is beauty? What is perfection? In doing so, she exposes stereotypes, breaks taboos and dismantles the normative ideas of femininity that are shaped by advertising, film and pop culture.
Since the 1960s, new art forms such as performance and body art have expanded the traditional concept of the work, dissolving the boundaries between art and everyday life and thematizing the relationship between artist an… | | |

The exhibition looks at contemporary Cuban photography from its role in promoting the Cuban Revolution after Fidel Castro’s 1959 overthrow of the Batista government to engaging in social and political critique following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. In subsequent years, Cuban photographers created powerful personal expressions by exploring individual identity, the body and spirit, Afro-Cuban heritage, and the margins of society, all while navigating the changing prescriptions and proscriptions of official cultural policy.
Showcasing 100 images, Navigating the Waves: Contemporary Cuban Photography celebrates the Museum's acquisition of some 300 photographs from Chicago-based collectors Madeleine and Harvey Plonsker. | | |

| | | Lindokuhle Sobekwa, Family group photo on a Christmas day, South Africa, Johannesburg, Thokoza 2017 © Lindokuhle Sobekwa | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... until 15 June 2025 | | | Lindokuhle Sobekwa wins the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2025.
Lindokuhle Sobekwa (b. 1995, South Africa) was awarded the Prize for the book "I carry Her photo with Me", published by MACK in 2024. | | | | | | | | | | | | | The artist was announced as the 2025 winner of the prestigious £30,000 prize at a special ceremony at The Photographers’ Gallery, London, on Thursday 15 May 2025.
The influential prize, presented by the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation in partnership with The Photographers’ Gallery, rewards artists and their projects recognised as having made the most significant contribution to international contemporary photography over the past 12 months.
Lindokuhle Sobekwa (b. 1995, South Africa) was awarded the Prize for the book "I carry Her photo with Me", published by MACK in 2024.
The deeply personal project began when Sobekwa found a family portrait with his older sister Ziyanda’s face cut out. He found the photograph in his mother’s bible and it remains the only photograph he has of his sister. One day when the siblings were seven and thirteen, she chased him, and he was hit by a car and badly injured. Traumatised by the accident, Ziyanda disappeared hours later. She only returned a decade later, by which time she was very ill. In the intervening years, Sobekwa had become a photographer. When she came back, Sobekwa tried to take Ziyanda’s portrait, but stopped when she reacted angrily. Ziyanda died soon after.
"I carry Her photo with Me" documents Sobekwa’s photographic search for the life his sister had lived and the people she had met. Combining photographs, handwritten notes and family snapshots in this scrapbook-like publication, Sobekwa explores the memory of his sister, his family history and the wider implications of disappearances in South Africa. The work is part of his wider practice on fragmentation, poverty and the long-reaching ramifications of Apartheid and colonialism across all levels of South African society. | | |

| | | Marcel de Kerolyr, voie Lactée et bolide, c.1930, 16,5x12cm | | | Deep Space & Celestial Objects | | | | ... until 21 June 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The David Guiraud Gallery is pleased to present a second exhibition on the theme of deep space — that is, of the nebulae and galaxies in our universe photographed from Earth. This achievement is only possible through observatories and their telescopes. It is not the human eye that gazes at the sky through the giant lens, but rather light, traveling from the farthest reaches of the universe, imprinting itself on the silver gelatin of photographic paper to reveal what was once invisible to the human eye.
The exhibition runs until June 21, 2025, at 5 rue du Perche in the Marais, from Tuesday to Saturday, 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
This exhibition brings together around forty vintage photographic prints, taken between 1880 and 1930, from major observatories such as Meudon in France or Mount Wilson and Palomar in the United States. Each image is a fragment of the sky, captured with patience and brilliance, using massive telescopes and sensitive plates. These photographs are much more than scientific documents: they are the first works of astronomical art — testimonies of a time when science merged with cosmic contemplation.
• Photography and Astronomy at the Turn of the 20th Century: An Extended and Perfected Eye
Unlike direct visual observation, photography allows for the accumulation of light over long periods (long exposures), making it possible to reveal extremely faint or diffuse objects such as galaxies (then called "spiral nebulae") and nebulae — once blurry, elusive, and largely mysterious. Where the human eye is limited in sensitivity, the photographic plate continues to receive light and reveals unsuspected details. Thanks to photography, the deep universe becomes visible and transforms into a subject of study … | | |

Courtesy Galerie Christophe Gaillard / Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | | | | | | | | | | ... until 31 July 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | A tight framing on two hanging keys, a container, a sponge, four objects suspended on a white wall, and a few ceramic tiles... This 1939 photograph by Daniel Masclet is intriguing. It deliberately embraces its own banality, both through its subject matter and the title given by its author: Dans ma cuisine. There is nothing exotic, no promise of elsewhere, no event or decisive moment to capture. Daniel Masclet draws our attention to a seemingly insignificant corner of his apartment, inviting us to look differently, to linger on this arrangement of everyday objects that possess no apparent aesthetic value. This photograph serves as the starting point for our exhibition, bearing the same title, to explore how and why kitchens and culinary arts, along with their contents, have become subjects of interest for photographers over the decades.
La table servie1 (circa 1823-30), one of the earliest photographs in the history of the medium, attributed to Nicéphore Niépce (perhaps in collaboration with Louis Daguerre), features bottles, a glass, a spoon, a knife, and a piece of bread, all arranged on a white tablecloth draped over a table. In his pursuit of a new photographic process, Niépce adopted the visual codes of still life painting. This early attempt at recording reality was later pursued by photographers in the second half of the 19th century (Charles Aubry, Adolphe Braun, Charles Carey, etc.), who honed their craft on inanimate, docile subjects, favoring bouquets of flowers, still lifes with skulls, rabbits, and hanging pheasants, or other accumulations of antiques and sculptures, thus adhering to the conventions of fine art. | | |

| | | Tokio, 1971 © Daido Moriyama/Daido Moriyama Photo Foundation. | | | | | | A Retrospective | | | | ... until 22 June 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over the course of his sixty-year career, Daido Moriyama (b. 1938, Osaka) decisively altered how we experience photography. He used his camera to investigate post-war Japanese society and document his surroundings, but he also questioned the nature of photography itself.
His unmistakable visual language is as lauded as his countless publications, which are central to his work.
This retrospective will be the first to exhibit most of his famous series along with dozens of Moriyama’s photobooks and magazines, plus numerous works and large-scale installations. Taken together, is presents one of the most innovative and influential artists and street photographers of our day.
Moriyama’s photographic subjects captivated viewers from the start, whether he was working with mass media and advertisements, societal taboos, or the theatricality of everyday life. He captured the clash of Japanese tradition and accelerated Westernization following the US military occupation of Japan after the end of World War II. Inspired by US artists such as Andy Warhol and William Klein, the photographer vivisected burgeoning consumer society in Japan. He explored the reproducibility of images, their dissemination, and consumption. Over and again, Moriyama placed his archive of images in new contexts, playing with enlargements, crops, and image resolution. Even today, his pioneering artistic spirit and visual intensity remain groundbreaking.
Daido Moriyama: A Retrospective is the product of a three-year research period, and is one of the most comprehensive exhibitions ever mounted of this artist’s work. It is organized by Instituto Moreira Salles in cooperation with the Daido Moriyama Photo Foundation. Chosen by The Guardian as the year`s best photo show in London. This show has been presented at Instituto Moreira Salles (São Paulo), C/O Berlin, The Photographer’s Gallery (London), The Finnish Museum of Photography (Helsinki) and PhotoElysée (Lausanne), at Fotografia Europea it arrives for its first Italian stop. | | |

The Angels of Testimony 2019
3-channel video installation and book. | | | | | | | | ... 31 August 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | De Pont will present THEATERS OF LIFE , the first major solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Meiro Koizumi (b. 1976) in the Netherlands. Koizumi, one of Japan's most prominent contemporary artists, explores themes such as nationalism, power dynamics, and the role of collective memory in his work. At the same time, he questions the place of the human body in an increasingly virtual and technologically driven world. How do innovations like artificial intelligence and biotechnology influence our understanding of life, individuality, and identity?
This extensive exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Koizumi's diverse artistic practice, ranging from large-scale video installations and drawings to Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects. Additionally, the exhibition features a series of Altars , a new sculptures series, through which Koizumi makes the tension between humans and technology tangible.
Personal and Collective Memories in Video Installations
Koizumi is internationally renowned for his compelling video installations, in which he uses re-enactments and staged scenarios to explore social and political issues. His work touches on themes such as Japan's collective memory and the psychological impact of war experiences.
One of the key pieces in the exhibition is the three-channel video installation The Angels of Testimony (new to the collection of De Pont Museum), in which Koizumi captures an intense conversation with Hajime Kondo, a former Japane… | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Auction 1267 Classic Photography
Two important collections make up the largest group of lots within the photography offering this season: the first is the private collection of the Berlin gallery owner and publisher Roland Angst (Only Photography), who died in 2022. The collection focuses on fotoform, American photography and contemporary Japanese photography, and will be auctioned over a period of two years, as well as the holdings of Galerie Clairefontaine from Luxembourg, whose successful auction Lempertz already began last fall. The artistic range of Marita Ruiter's gallery, which was one of the important players in the international art scene for three decades and contributed lasting impulses to the Luxembourg photography scene, is reflected in the selection of around 60 photographs that will be offered on both consecutive auction days.
The highlight of the season is the glamorous ˈTied-up Torso (Henrietta Ficellée)ˈ from a private South German collection, taken in 1980 in Ramatuelle on the Côte d'Azur, where photographer Helmut Newton, a virtuoso of erotic staging, had owned a house since 1964. With a format of around 100 x 100 cm, this artist proof is both a rare and outstanding example of the Berlin-born photographer's masterly command of composition. The high-quality print was formerly in the Frieder Burda Collection, Baden Baden, from where it went to its current owner (lot 790, € 60/80,000). In addition to this classic black and white print, a second important photograph by Helmut Newton will be offered for sale: a large-format colour nude photograph of the supermodel ˈKristen McMenamyˈ, taken in Monte Carlo in 1995 (lot 789, € 25/30,000).
In the field of classic photography from the 1920s, the Bauhaus photographs from the estate of Xanti Schawinsky stand out as vintage prints, including the motif ˈDer Bau als Bühne, Bauhaus Dessau, 1927ˈ by T. Lux Feininger, which Herbert Bayer selected in 1938 for the catalogue cover and poster motif of the exhibition ˈbauhaus 1919-1928ˈ at the MoMA in New York (lot 622, € 4/5,000). A real rarity is the complete portfolio ˈ25 nus femmesˈ featuring highly aesthetic nudes by Sasha Stone in outstanding vintage quality (lot 629, € 12/15,000), which the photographer gave to an artist friend in 1936. American classics of their genre include the black and white fashion and portrait photographs by Horst P. Horst - such as the iconic ˈRound the Clock I, New York, 1987ˈ (lot 697) - Diane Arbus (lot 765), Irving Penn (lot 766) and Robert Mapplethorpe (lot 769) with estimated prices between € 7/9,000 and € 10/15,000, whilst New Colour photography is represented by four works each by Stephen Shore and Bruce Wrighton (lots 759-762 and 770-773, estimates € 1,500/2,000 to € 5/6,000). | | |

| | | | FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2025 - XX edition | | | | AVERE VENT'ANNI - BEING TWENTY | | | | | | | Reggio Emilia 24 April – 8 June 2025 | | | The 20th edition of the Reggio Emilia festival is dedicating its exhibitions to a time of life when the possibilities seem endless.
Chiostri di San Pietro, Palazzo da Mosto, Palazzo dei Musei, Biblioteca Panizzi, Spazio Gerra and the Circuito OFF venues will play host to exhibitions by both the greats of photography and emerging talents | | | | | | | | | | | | | From 24 April to 8 June 2025, Reggio Emilia will yet again examine changes in contemporary society through the eyes of the greats of photography and emerging talents with the 20th edition of FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA, the festival organised and promoted by Fondazione Palazzo Magnani and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, with the support of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
“BEING TWENTY” is the theme chosen by the festival’s artistic directors Tim Clark (editor of 1000 Words), Walter Guadagnini (photography historian and director of CAMERA - Centro Italiano per la Fotografia) and Luce Lebart (researcher and curator, Archive of Modern Conflict).
How many times, as adults, do we say “if only I was twenty again”? A phrase, an expression that, in an ideal world, would free us from the responsibilities and burdens of being grown-ups and take us back to a time bathed by the waters and lightness of youth, when everything was still a wonderful possibility and the future was just waiting to be written.
But what does it mean to young people today to be twenty? Twenty is an age of contradictions; twenty-year-olds are adults, but often still live at home with their parents; they are connected to the whole world, but the loneliness can be overwhelming. They face huge expectations, both personal and social: finding a fulfilling job, building meaningful relationships, giving a sense to their own existence, and imagining a better world, for themselves and others.
This year, Fotografia Europea wanted to follow this path, walk part of the way alongside the young people of Generation Z, who have grown up at a time when technological progress has opened up infinite possibilities, but also unprecedented crises to be tackled, individually and collectively. This generation is rediscovering the importance and need to fight for their rights and for a more equitable future.
The projects chosen examine this and much more besides, drawing attention to stories that may be new and unusual but are also bursting with that boundless vital energy that makes you believe, at least once in your life, that you can change the world. | | |

| | | | Photoszene-Festival | | | | | | | | | | ... until 15 June, 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Photoszene Festival is set to take place at ninety-nine locations in the city from 16 May until 15 June.
In addition to the six exhibitions in the curated core programme at nine locations, ninety more museums, institutions, galleries and art spaces will be participating in an eclectic photography-themed exhibition trail throughout the urban area. As before, the principle of participating and sharing is a significant feature of the Internationale Photoszene Köln. With this year’s edition of the Festival, the Internationale Photoszene Köln has set off on the path towards becoming more sustainable, more inclusive and more diversity-sensitive. Therefore, in many areas measures have been taken to make this intention a reality – first and foremost a provision of the programme in Simplified Language (digital and analogue).
Festival’s programme
The principle curated core programme comprises Artist Meets Archive, for which five international artists – Marta Bogdańska, Elena Efeoglou, Andrés Galeano, Pauline Hafsia M’barek und Jimmi Wing Ka Ho – worked with five of Cologne’s archives and collections and develop Festival exhibitions out of their research at the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum, the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum, Museum Ludwig, Cologne Cathedral and the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, as well as a group exhibition arising from an Open Call with the theme of "Feelings & Photography", which will reflect the topic area of feelings in and through photography. In addition, photography’s great diversity is demonstrated by numerous participating exhibitions. Alongside that, there is a comprehensive supporting programme comprising artist talks, tours, workshops and a symposium on Feelings in Photography in partnership with the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. | | |
