Fotoausstellung - "Bergson Street" von Jonas Hennecke

Come and discover the exhibition "Bergson Street" by Jonas Hennecke, which takes up the tension between photography and Bergson's philosophy and asks the question of how to capture the fluid, changing life of a moving world in the immobility of an image.

"Bergson Street"

How does the rigid live, how does the living freeze? - These are the questions that Henri Bergson poses to photography. Bergson (1859-1941), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and philosophical pop star of his time, dedicated his thinking to the unstoppable flow of time, which in its vitality only knows change.

The idea of photography is initially diametrically opposed to this way of thinking: How to take a picture of a fleeting world? How to capture a moment that has never possessed the duration suggested by the photograph? Bergson Street is an attempt to make this tension visible - street photography not as a still image of the world, but as a view into the intangible vitality of its motifs. The exhibition invites us to reflect on the fact that photography can show more than the eye can see - that it creates space for thinking about movement, process and time. It is Bergson's world out there. It is Bergson Street in here.

Opening with the photographer: Thursday, October 9 at 7 pm

The following year, he took part in the award's anniversary exhibition in Sharjah as part of the Xposure Festival. Hennecke's work deals with the fine line between philosophy and art. In doing so, he works with the paradox of blurring the rigid - and freezing movement where it actually seems impossible. Bergson Street is his first solo exhibition.
