How do young documentary photographers see Europe? The Hamburg-based artist Peter Bialobrzeski invited some of them to present their view of today's world. They are raising questions affecting all of us: topics like climate change and pollution, social justice, the migration policy crisis, and the changing world order.
The artists are from Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Great Britain, Georgia, and Siberia. Some of them are living in Berlin, and a few of them are working in collectives.
Peter Bialobrzeski (* 1961) is one of the most popular and internationally successful contemporary German photographers. He received the Dr. Erich Salomon Award, presented by the German Photographic Society (DGPh) in 2012, and twice he received the renowned photojournalism award - the World Press Photo Award (in 2003 and in 2010). He was Professor of Photography at University of the Arts Bremen for two decades, and has been a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg since 2013.
The Stadthaus presented the exhibition Urban Spaces, a comprehensive overview of Bialobrzeski's work in 2022. The photographer also curated the exhibition 40 years of laif for the Stadthaus in 2023.
