Globalisation, consumerism, and the resulting climate change are the main causes for the disappearance of the rainforest's precious ecosystem. And this also contributes to the disconnection of humanity from the virgin forest.

In his photographic work, Nikita Teryoshin focuses on the often-overlooked aspects of modern life. With critical acuity, visual wit, and a keen sense of irony, he documents social contradictions, power structures, and economic dynamics.
Every second year the Stadthaus Ulm invites young people to take part in the photo competition Kindling Democracy focusing on changing democratic values.
Kathrin Linkersdorff's fascinating large-format photographs are located somewhere between art and science. In her experiments, which are at the interface with botany and microbiology, she analyses the nature and structure of plants. She purposely sets off disintegration processes that reveal the inner structure of blossoms in order to capture them in photographic stagings.
Plants communicate, share, they are able to learn, and they even follow mobility strategies. Bioscientists keep revealing more and more information and exchange processes: among plants but also between plants and other life forms. The artists Paula Bruna, Barcelona (*1978), Katrin Petroschkat, Munich (*1979), and Saša Spačal, Ljubljana (*1978), open up unusual accesses to plants and their environments. Their artwork casts light upon new aspects of botanical physicality, interaction, and communication. The exhibition invites us to spend time with plants; listening in on and smelling their worlds and ways of expressing life.
Emil Kräß worked at the Minster's stonemasons' lodge in Ulm for 38 years.
In November 2024 the Minster's longest-serving stonemason put down his mallet and retired. Admittedly, this does not keep him from continuing to use hammer and chisel. Besides his job the stonemason from Holzschwang developed his very own artistic way of working with sandstone and limestone.
Herlinde Koelbl took twenty-three portraits of Angela Merkel. The setting was always the same: a white wall, a chair, and no instructions from the photographer. The photos document Angela Merkel's ascent from "Kohl's girl" to the world's most powerful female head of government.
Angelika Platen's art of taking portraits demonstrates her ability to depict the essence of an artist in connection with their body of work in one single picture.
