On view: September 26–November 12, 2022

Hillerbrand+Magsamen’s practice utilizes collaboration, process and media experimentation through video, photography, installation, sculpture and interdisciplinary performance. They explore their relationships to each other and society with an uncanny sensibility that merges the real and unreal, blurring boundaries between life and art and often includes their two children, Maddie and Emmett.

About our exhibition "Georgia times differently" in "Bergische Morgenpost" / October 24, 2022
Exhibition project "Georgia times differently" - Two photographers with different focus on the road in Georgia
Curated by Teona Gogichaishvili
With works of Gerd Krauskopf and Mikheil Kurdadze
Mikhail Kurdadze, winner of this year's KOLGA Photography Award in the category "Special Distinction" presents his artistic work entitled:
Another Planet Seems to be Too Close to Me.
Mikheil writes about this work including the following, "As a child, my worst nightmare was that other planets - whether celestial bodies or other, metaphorical bodies - were too close to me. I could almost feel their presence pressing on my own body...."
The landscapes of Vashlovani, in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, seem like they are from another world, reflecting Mikheil's sensations...
The Remscheid photojournalist Gerd Krauskopf approaches Georgia in a very different way - as an experienced traveler and photographer, who portrays the lives of ordinary people and their lifestyles with love and respect, and brings Georgian culture closer to the German audience in a special way.
Aus Gerd Krauskopfs Fotoserie für die Ausstellung "Georgien mal anders".

traditional role models, family and mother-child-relationship, youth and gender, social and political effects.
