DEMARKATION – Fotografien von Stephan Kaluza
In the organizer's words:
DEMARKATION: Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Verdun - photographic works in the timeless now by Stephan Kaluza
With DEMARKATION, the Bilker Bunker is showing predominantly large-format photographic works by the artist Stephan Kaluza. At first glance, they appear to be one thing: unagitatedly beautiful. But with further information - the reference to the place where the photographs were taken - and the former bunker as the exhibition venue, their ambiguity becomes apparent. What is ultimately illustrated is society's approach to time, memory and forgetting.
The photographs show places of human catastrophe: Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Verdun, among others. At first glance, the landscapes appear peaceful and insignificant. But the titles reveal the most difficult history.
This is precisely where the exhibition comes in: It addresses the relationship between image, meaning and memory. How do we look back today when places no longer bear any visible traces? And what future do we want to shape from this?
RUNNING TIME: November 8, 2025 to January 8, 2026
