This exhibition presents works by the internationally renowned photographer Michael Wesely (born 1964) in dialogue with works from the Photography Collection of the Kunstbibliothek that focus on the phenomenon of how the medium of photography captures time. This includes snapshots and time-lapse exposures, multiple exposures and serial photographs. There will also be dialogues around the subject matter of the pictures.

The Photographer. A Change of Perspective

Der Fotograf. Ein Blickwechsel

30 Jun – 17 Aug 2023




In this exhibition, current artistic approaches enter into an open dialogue with a set of works that has long lain quietly in the storage depots of the Photography Collection at the Kunstbibliothek (Art Library). The estate of amateur photographer Kurt Rohde (1920–1996) opens up a multilayered frame of reference for the aesthetic and critical examination of this photographer’s work, the medium of photography, and the handling of archives.

Seen By #19: Hyperstition

6 May – 18 Jun 2023





The exhibition explores the experimental philosophical concept of hyperstition and makes it the starting point for new artistic works by young artists on speculative themes in photography and video.

Hyperstition refers to ideas whose expression releases such vibrations that they ultimately realise themselves, similar to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The term was first coined in the 1990s by the interdisciplinary collective Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) in the UK, whose members pub… more

For the first time, the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin is opening its doors primarily to children. The show focuses on the concrete-sensual materiality of original photographs and complements them with a selection of prints, drawings, sculptures, and films. The colorful mix of around 240 works illustrates the uses, forms of design, and expressions of photography from its beginnings to the present.

Seen by
The exhibition series "Seen by" is a co-curatorial lab project set up in the Museum für Fotografie as a way of devising innovative curatorial and artistic strategies in art photography.

The project will work with two strategies: either UdK staff select works for the exhibition, or curators prepare the exhibition with workshops, in which students develop a common concept. This not only establishes a new form of teaching, but also results in the productive intermeshing of the a… more

Candida Höfer explores built spaces in her photography. Her world-famous interiors focus on libraries, museums, restaurants, theaters, and other public spaces, allowing us to experience architecture in a new way. In comparison with photographic interiors from the Kunstbibliothek's Photography Collection, which is over 150 years old, a dialogue develops between applied photography and artistic work.

Today, we live in a media landscape where technology trains us to perform and ascribe personal and supposedly authentic meaning to any trackable and commodifiable action—we create profiles where we post our social life to Instagram, it is represented in images and their interrelations online, and all the while, its data is extracted and monetized by the same corporate platforms where it all plays out. On one hand, the creation of profiles, alternative avatars and the production or embell… more

In a large solo exhibition, the Museum für Fotografie (Museum of Photography) presents theatre photographs by Ruth Walz from the past 50 years. Between 1976 and 1990, Walz masterfully documented legendary productions by Peter Stein, Luc Bondy and Robert Wilson, among others, for the Schaubühne Berlin. She also accompanied many other milestones of recent European theatre and opera history as a photographer.

Like a detective sifting through clues, the presentation elucidates a previously little known chapter in the history of the former Landwehrkasino, now the Museum für Fotografie (Museum of Photography). A century ago, a theatre was established in the Kaisersaal (Imperial Hall), the museum’s largest exhibition space ‒ located on the 2nd storey. The exhibition uses theatre photos, programmes, cast lists, postcards and posters to introduce its eventful history.

Written while she was battling both breast cancer and the medical practices used for its treatment, the poet and activist Audre Lorde articulated a series of propositions on how she battled despair during the laboured process of effecting change; namely, by "knowing that this work did not begin with my birth nor will it end with my death.

"Paragons/Afterimages" – this conceptual coupling refers both to correlations between images and to the production of images that refer back to pre-existing models and archetypes. In the art academies and schools of applied arts in the 19th and early 20th centuries, photographs served as "models" or "paragons" and functioned as an independent and didactic class of images in their own right. Photographic reference material was an important resource in the … more

21 May – 25 Jul 2021



Considering the current global conflict situations, one would like to reject the phrase "nothing ever happened" intuitively. Massive upheavals in political party landscapes, nationalistic tendencies, hate campaigns by conspiracy theorists, violence from the right, authoritarian regimes, the increasing isolation of Europe at its external borders, and much more, describe only a small portion of dangerous political developments. As a reaction to this, one would like to counter these de… more

Modus Operandi is a large format double analog projection comprised of 162 individual photographs. It collides images which otherwise don’t belong together, yet spontaneously respond to one another. The mechanics of two projectors put into motion a cycle of continuous exchange in which two images meet. For a moment they stand together in direct proximity. This proximity reaches an abrupt conclusion, marked by the characteristic mechanical sound of the changing analog s… more

The centenary of the Bauhaus provides opportunity for a dialogue between the photo-avant-garde of circa 1930 and contemporary art photography. The historical point of reference for this exhibition is a two-part curatorial-scenographic reconstruction of a presentation, conceived by László Moholy-Nagy, of the history of photography, entitled “Wohin geht die fotografische Entwicklung?” (Where is photography developing?). It was shown in 1929 at the international travelin… more

The idea of the artist is often associated with ingenuity, creativity, and free expression, while Carl Gustav Jung defined a ‘complex’ as a structure of feelings, thoughts and memories. This structure centers on a significant factor in the psyche and determines our thoughts and actions. Artist Complex brings the two concepts together, and investigates the artist as a visual phenomenon composed of a particular ideas and motifs.

In the 1970s she turned her hand to nature photography, and from 1990 on has focused exclusively on this field. Neubert’s approach to her work has alwa… more

SEEN BY #6: ON OFF SHORE

On the migration of people, intelligence, capital, and data

30 Sep – 30 Oct 2016


The exhibition attempts to explore the connections and disconnections of intricately networked and fuzzily entangled currents and layers of migration: taxonomies of image trajectories between historical diaspora, current refugee migration and their media technological orders; streams of data, goods, and tourists along both rivers and wires; logistical and architectural infrastructures and their destruction and displacement; artificial seeds and their miraculous capital and disastrous experimen… more

In an installation created for the Fürstensaal room of the Museum für Fotografie, the Munich-based artist-duo M+M are featuring a film cycle entitled 7 Days. The seven-part work is shown in its entirety, each part having been developed successively by M+M within a timeframe just short of seven years. The installation is akin to a multi-perspective cinema, in which the language of film expands to include the surrounding spatial structures and incorporate new narrative styles. Each fil… more

A Photo Rarely Comes Alone

12 Feb – 5 Jun 2016


Whether in duos or threesomes or in multipart series, photographs are often joined together to form larger works that are more than the sum of their parts. Such image constellations are singular in its character. For the first time at the Museum of Photography, this enthralling phenomenon becomes the theme of an exhibition: "A Photo Rarely Comes Alone."

Three main chapters – Faces and bodies, Architectures, and Experiments – provide an opportunity for new discoveries and… more

Japanese Photography from the Meiji Period (1868-1912)

4 Sep 2015 – 10 Jan 2016


In the latter half of the 19th century, Japanese society underwent a process of rapid modernization along European lines, which was encapsulated by the governmental slogan 'civilization and enlightenment'. Emperor Mutsuhito (throne name Meiji) became the symbol of the political upheaval of this period. His reign saw the abolishment of the feudal system of the Edo Period and the 270-year-long military rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Alongside the steam engine, gas lights, and the hot… more

24 Apr – 2 Aug 2015


Parisian fashion and artists, life in the streets and cafés of Montparnasse – Willy Maywald’s photographs document all of this.

Born in Kleve in the Lower Rhine region in 1907, he attended the schools of applied arts in Krefeld, Cologne, and Berlin which shaped his avant-garde style. In 1932 he moved to the city on the Seine, where he befriended many of the protagonists of modern art. The bustling arts scene of Paris offered him many different images – from the 1937 … more

More than almost any other war, World War I brought about an enormous increase in the tempo of technological development. Photography was one of the technologies affected in multiple ways by this leap in modernisation, playing an integral and multifaceted part in the conduct of the war. The exhibition presents a comprehensive overview of the uses to which photography was put (weaponry, documentation, reconnaissance, press photography, propaganda, journalism, to name but a few), using exhibit… more

In our algorithmically refreshed ‘user-friendly’ universe, past reboots into present, representations resist resolution, images circulate into surfaces and almost no place seems to be left for surprises. Can images continue to appear as polysemous vernacular, speculative in meaning? Where to look for fresh and versatile articulation modalities through images, if there are any?

In a famous television interview, Hannah Arendt says "I must understand, that is why I continue t… more

The Quintessential Landscape

Die absolute Landschaft

4 Jul – 5 Oct 2014
The same motif over and over again: a vast landscape of mountains, sweeping valleys, forests, meadows, and scattered hamlets and farmsteads. A new motif each time: the changes wrought by the seasons, the weather, and especially the ever-changing light that shapes this landscape. All of this is on view in the sixty large-format photographs shown in the Museum für Fotografie’s Kaisersaal.

Since the 1970s, Michael Ruetz has been engaged in a project he calls "Eye on Time". Th… more

At the dawn of the last century, photographs of nudes could be found everywhere. The exhibition »The Naked Truth and More Besides« presents the astonishing diversity of photographic depictions of the disrobed human body that existed around this time. It was an age in which the foundations were laid for the development in the public domain of an extremely varied type of image, which, more than any other continues to inform the world in which we live today.
