From Bauhaus to Instagram

 

 

This exhibition in Hamburg focuses on the role of amateurs in Bauhaus – the breaking of aesthetic rules, the specific way they captured the reality of life, and their ideas for change in society. A second focus addresses the “new” digital amateur; in participative projects based on photo collections by amateurs, the exhibition reveals the social and political relevance of works of contemporary amateur photography. The exhibition includes historical snapshots, Bauhaus photography and international contemporary works using amateur material, as well as amateur photos on photo-sharing platforms like Instagram.
