Pop-up Fotofestival
Yes, times are difficult. We are experiencing challenges, change, conflicts, worries, fears, threats, but also hope and humanity.
And that is precisely why photography is important. It documents, informs, irritates and inspires. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it’s just fun. It helps us to see and understand. It takes us further and brings us together.
At the “Show what is” festival, we celebrated this photography – and defended it against disinformation, deepfakes and AI spins. Now more than ever.
With a thematically and photographically very broad pop-up festival. With exhibitions, lectures, screenings, events and space for encounters and the exchange of ideas. For 10 days, on 1,400 square meters. In the Jupiter. In the heart of Hamburg.
For everyone who was in the mood for pictures and stories. Documentary photographers and content creators, street photographers and photo fans, professionals, amateurs, the curious.

AI vs HI / Artificial Intelligence versus Human Intelligence
A cooperation between the KLUB DER KÜNSTE of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the TTLC Through the lens collective, Johannesburg.
A visual exchange on the application of the two forms of intelligence in the perception of geopolitical and social change. Four photographers from Johannesburg were brought together in teams of two with four photographers from the ‘Klub der Künste’ at the Deichtorhallen. The four pairs engaged in a visual dialog on the topic via email, WhatsApp and Zoom over a period of four months and created a joint work. They were supervised in their process by Michelle Loukidis in Johannesburg and André Lützen in Hamburg.

Anecdotes from an unfamiliar Land
Over the course of three years, I travel through rural areas in Germany in search of an unusual, alternative and tragicomic view of my home country. Based on my own search for belonging, I examine how people find their identity in traditions and history
How do we interpret our history? How do we find stability in traditions and community?
I want to rediscover this country, examine the unnoticed and overlooked, let myself be surprised – find my own Germany. I look for occasions when people break out of their everyday lives, identify with traditions and history and thus slip into roles, dress up or stage themselves. Moments that we hardly notice as outsiders in these communities are strung together to create a tragicomic tale of Germany.
The aim of the work is to create an approach to the complexity and indeterminacy of collective identity and to question this concept. The provocative question remains: What does it mean to be “German”?

Tropic Ice - Dialog between Places Affected by Climate Change
Man-made climate change not only poses a massive threat to nature, ecosystems and biodiversity, but above all to people themselves. This is the main theme of the long-term project “Tropic Ice”, which laif photographer Barbara Dombrowski has been working on since 2010.
In order to give people a face and to show that everything is connected to everything else, the artist visited climate-relevant places on the five continents and indigenous peoples. They not only act as ambassadors for their respective continents, but also represent tipping points in the climate system and different climate zones.
Barbara Dombrowski, however, does not show catastrophes, but is concerned with the people themselves. All these peoples are united by their understanding of and sense of belonging to the nature that surrounds them. They were or are animists who regard all life as animated.
The people portrayed are brought together in an exhibition installation in the form of large-format banners. The artist was thus able to create symbolic images that illustrate the climate crisis in a new, striking way and connect the people depicted.

49€ GERMANY
49€ Germany – A working title for a Germany subject
Dr. Britta Kohl-Boas, Oliver Jockers and Bastian Hertel provide an insight into their current work. In the project with the working title “49€ Germany”, the three photographers are embarking on another “Journey to the Germans” using regional public transport.
At the laif foundation’s “Zeigen was ist” festival, they will give a workshop report and explain their collaboration, their way of communicating and the creative process from the idea to the work.
RUSSIA IN THE BACK (Bastian Hertel)
A personal border experience
Bastian Hertel traveled to the Norwegian-Russian border, 400 km north of the Arctic Circle, in autumn 2022, six months after the outbreak of the Ukraine war.
Driven by curiosity and the desire to understand the tense situation, he found a region in a state of tension: breathtaking nature and an omnipresent military presence. What is it like to live in the shadow of the “Russian bear”?
The photographs show a personal search for answers, for closeness and distance, security and threat. In November 2024, this photographic borderline experience is unfortunately still relevant.
VERSETZT (Dr. Britta Kohl-Boas)
Alt-Keyenberg is a rural district of Erkelenz in the district of Heinsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The village was to make way for the Garzweiler open-cast mine, which is why the majority of the inhabitants have been relocating to Neu-Keyenberg, around six kilometers away, since 2016. In many places, Alt-Keyenberg now resembles a ghost village.
In October 2022, RWE announced that it no longer planned to demolish the village after all, as coal mining is scheduled to end in 2030. All resettlers have the chance to buy back their old houses for themselves or their children.

FCK Fake News
FCK Fake News
A cultural education project of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg with six Hamburg students on the subject of fake news
The internet is considered the most democratic medium of all. Anyone can post, comment and share on an equal footing. And young people in particular use social media to get information, but they also run the risk of falling for false reports, as news is often embellished and manipulated. They often lack the criteria to differentiate between reputable and dubious sources and to assess the credibility of news. On the one hand, this relates to political fake news (false news), which can lead to a loss of diversity of information if disseminated uncritically and can be a threat to democracy, but on the other hand it also relates to very “personal” fake news such as self-promotion on media such as Instagram and TikTok. Users are constantly presented with the image of the perfect person and an exciting life, whether through image editing or cropping out the surroundings.
Participating schools: Charlotte-Paulsen-Gymnasium, Gymnasium Buckhorn, Emilie-Wüstenfeld-Gymnasium, Reformschule Winterhude, Gymnasium Allee, ReBBZ Billstedt (Regionales-Bildungs- und Beratungszentrum)
Coordination of the project: Birgit Hübner, Head of Cultural Education at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg
Project idea and artistic direction: André Lützen
Photographs: André Lützen
Artistic collaboration and realization: Nora Luttmer and Ruth Marie Kröger
The students’ work on the topic of fake news can be seen on the website designed especially for the project:
Frieder Blickle
The Aletsch Glacier in the Swiss canton of Valais is the largest glacier in the Alps in terms of area.
From the Jungfraujoch, the glacier stretches around 24 km downhill to the Massa Gorge. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A snowflake that falls onto the glacier at Junfgraujoch would theoretically take 400 years to melt and reach today’s glacier mouth above the reservoir. The long-term effects of this steady, silent event, the melting of the glaciers, are not yet foreseeable.
30 years ago, in the summer of 1994, I photographed various landscapes and people on the glacier during a photo reportage in the Aletsch region. After 30 years I was there again. I had the pictures from 1994 with me in my rucksack and in some places I integrated the pictures from 1994 into the view from 2024. There are no photomontages.
The landscape, the ice flow, border areas between ice and rock and the rock itself are in motion. New climatic zones are emerging. The tree line is moving upwards. Historic paths are being relocated. A chairlift has to be shortened. Glacial lakes disappear or move to lower regions. The glacier as a source of water for the valley regions, a “natural, sloping reservoir” changes its function.
According to current model calculations, only 10% of the current glacier volume, an ice area between Jungfraujoch and Konkordiaplatz, will remain in 100 years.
This project was photographed in September 2024 and sponsored by VG Bild Kunst.

Hope for Moor
Long-term photo project on “renaturation”
In Germany, peatlands only cover around five percent of the country’s surface area, yet they store as much carbon as all German forests.
Natural moors have almost completely disappeared in Germany today. Of a total of 1.4 million hectares of moorland, only
1% is still in a near-natural state. The moors in northern Germany were created in the 10,000 years following the last ice age and have grown by just 1 mm per year.
As a result of the settlement of people in moorland areas since the Middle Ages and the associated drainage of the moors, large quantities of greenhouse gases have been emitted. Today, more than two thirds of all moorland is used for agriculture.
In the past, large quantities of peat were also cut for heating purposes. When the peat is burned, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere and thus contributes to climate change. As peat is a good water reservoir and is also low in nutrients and pollutants, it is unfortunately still mined today and used as a plant substrate, particularly in horticulture.
The National Peatland Protection Strategy adopted by the Federal Cabinet in November 2022 aims to restore peatlands through various measures and thus reduce the greenhouse gases they emit. The German government is also promoting research into the potential uses of rewetted moors, known as paludicultures.
Fascinated by the preserved biotopes, the biodiversity there and the renaturation, the Hamburg photographer Jörg Modrow has been documenting this process with his camera for several years and provides insights into the wonderful world of moors with his exhibition: “Hope for Moor”.

Lampedusa in Hamburg
Around 300 people fled to Hamburg via the Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013. Their arrival changed the city – until today. Some have since returned home. But most have stayed.
With a three-month visa for the Schengen area and a few hundred euros in their pockets, a group of around three hundred African men arrived in Hamburg in 2013. They were united by a common fate: as migrant workers in Libya, they had lost everything in the civil war following the fall of Gaddafi in 2011 and serious unrest.
They fled across the Mediterranean in boats to Lampedusa. Italy offered no protection and no prospects. So they moved on to Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg.
They lived homeless on the streets of Hamburg for several months, with the city’s winter emergency program providing a temporary refuge. Germany saw no need to provide humanitarian aid at the time. According to the Dublin II Regulation, Italy was responsible for the refugees. The country in Europe that the people had entered first.
After months on the streets, St. Pauli Church opened its doors to eighty of them on June 2, 2013. The men lived together in this place for over six months. They were Christians or Muslims, spoke different languages and came from different African nations. The congregation of St. Pauli Church and the district showed solidarity and provided emergency humanitarian aid. An “Embassy of Hope” was set up in the church garden, where refugees were able to tell their stories of survival. Welcome parties were celebrated, “FC Lampedusa” was founded and played at the Millerntor, and the Thalia Theater organized solidarity events. As political pressure increased, support for the group grew
“We are Here to Stay”, with this sentence the group of refugees with the self-chosen name “Lampedusa in Hamburg” demanded their rights on the streets of Hamburg. Thousands demonstrated with them for the right to stay. After negotiations, the
Hamburg Senate finally created a procedural framework that offered the prospect of residence. Over 120 refugees have gone through this procedure.
Ten years later, I met some of them again. Many of them now have jobs and residency and have become part of our society. But there are also a few who still don’t have a regular residence permit or a work permit.
The current humanitarian plight of refugees at the external borders of the European Union continues. In the last 10 years, over 25,000 people have drowned while fleeing across the Mediterranean. Time and again, sea rescues are obstructed by state authorities.

Between hope and dystopia
How can climate change be depicted visually beyond the usual clichés? How can we find images for a slow, gradual change?
Temperatures in Germany have risen significantly more than the global average. A change can be felt everywhere in the country – in the landscape and in society.
For his ninth photo essay on the climate crisis in Germany, Dortmund photographer Maximilian Mann is not looking for loud, sensational images, but instead wants to show quiet testimonies of a country that is slowly changing in the midst of the crisis. After all, Germany is facing a serious problem: Germany, an industrialized and automotive country, must become climate-neutral by 2045. That is only 21 years away, a race against time. Economic interests, political ideologies and solutions are increasingly the subject of heated debate in Germany at the start of the 2020s. The social climate is changing, climate activists are pooling their energy and scientists are looking for new solutions. Despite this, coal is still being mined, the construction of wind turbines is progressing too slowly and the debate continues about how long petrol-powered cars can still be sold.
The photo essay describes a photographic journey through Germany and focuses on a country in transition. What new and hopeful concepts are there to slow down the climate crisis? How is the landscape in Germany changing? And what does this mean for people’s daily lives? The exhibition aims to give viewers a sense of a country in crisis – a quiet and restrained testimony to change, somewhere between hope and dystopia.
photobus society
Identity, Courage, Love.” is a photo exhibition by the fotobus society.
In summer 2023, they brought images and stories from students of the Visual Journalism & Documentary Photography course into the public space of the city of Hanover with pop-up exhibitions!
Parts of the exhibition can now be seen in Hamburg with the support of the laif foundationn.
Identity, courage and love. These are all topics that concern us every day. Who am I? Where do I come from? What is close to my heart? What do I want to stand up for? How do I love? These questions are so simple, yet it is difficult to find an answer. The exhibited works document different realities of life and show perspectives for answering these questions.
The students address a wide range of topics: Flight, origin, tradition, family, generational conflict, sustainability, mental health, sexual orientation, activism and hope. Due to the different points of view, there is room for discussion and disagreement, but also for dialog and reconciliation.
It includes works by Diana Cabrera Rojas, Fabian Niebauer, Felix Rosic, Giovanni de Mojana, Ksenia Ivanova, Ludwig Nikulski, Mehdi Moradpour, Minoo Hassanzadeh, Polina Schneider and Solveig Eichner.
Overall, the exhibition offers young photographic positions that not only enlighten, but also provide an outlook.
And here are some of the projects on show:
40 years of laif - 40 positions in documentary photography
“40 years of laif – 40 positions of documentary photography” is a publication in newspaper format and at the same time an exhibition “to go”, created for the agency’s 40th anniversary.
The photographic works depicted reflect the world through its conflicts and fault lines, but also show how art and solidarity connect people. In addition, they reflect the aesthetic development of documentary photography from 1981 to 2021.
The publication was awarded bronze in the category “Illustrated book photographic exhibition” at the German Photo Book Award 23/24.
On display are photo series by:
Christian Als, Christoph Bangert, Theodor Barth, Günter Beer, Regina Bermes, Jürgen Bindrim, Peter Bialobrzeski, Jan-Peter Boening, Katharina Bosse, James Whitlow Delano, Barbara Dombrowski, Stephan Elleringmann, Norbert Enker, Maria Feck, Bettina Flitner, Peter Granser, Jan Grarup, Andreas Herzau, James Hill, Sandra Hoyn, Britta Jaschinski, Hannes Jung, David Klammer, Vincent Kohlbecher, Axel Krause, Dirk Krüll, Michael Lange, Paul Langrock, Frederic Lezmi, Manfred Linke, Kai Löffelbein, André Lützen, Ingmar Björn Nolting, Helena Schätzle, Henrik Spohler, Berthold Steinhilber, Andreas Teichmann, Wolfgang Volz, Gordon Welters and Michael Wolf.
After stops in Cologne, Ulm, Bremen, Prague, Hyderabad and New York, excerpts from the exhibition are now coming to Hamburg in the form of the anniversary newspaper.
The curator of the exhibition is the internationally renowned photo artist Peter Bialobrzeski. With the support of laif agency co-founder Manfred Linke, Peter Bitzer, former managing director of the laif agency, and the designers Sarah Fricke and Lea Sievertsen (Distaff Studio) as well as Lisa Petersen, an unconventional presentation has been created.

Exhibition German Street Photography Festival
Seeing the extraordinary in ordinary everyday life and documenting it photographically – that is the art of street photography.
Street photography is an artistic-documentary genre of photography with over 100 years of history. It is an essential part of our contemporary visual memory and shows future generations what unposed life is really like in the present, instead of being staged in the best possible way.
The exhibition shows a selection of humorous and critical motifs on our changing society.
Jugend fotografiert Deutschland
How do young people see the world? What topics are important to them? How would they tell their stories themselves?
Answers to these questions are provided by the nationwide “Jugend fotografiert Deutschland” competition organized by the non-profit laif foundation.
Participants practise dealing with ideas, research and visual documentation. An understanding of the challenges of photojournalism and the ability to criticize sources are also encouraged.
In the exhibition, we are showing an interim status of the photo stories submitted so far.
Further submissions are still possible until March 30, 2025 and the award ceremony will take place in Hamburg in May 2025.
The prize is 1,000 euros.

From the idea to the photo book project
Tips and suggestions from Nicole Keller with examples from some of her documentary and freelance book projects.
PhotoSlam
The PhotoSlam is an entertaining and informative performance in which your submitted photos will be discussed, praised or constructively criticized anonymously and spontaneously on stage by the founders of the “German Street Photography Festival” in an entertaining and witty way.
PhotoRally
Here you were challenged. At our PhotoRally, you were able to discover the hidden potential of Hamburg’s city center from your own personal perspective, document it and share it with others.
There was 500 euros to be won! The winners were chosen live at Jupiter on November 30.
The project took place as a pilot project in the Hamburg program “Hidden Potentials – Community Development of Diversity of Use for a Vibrant and Resilient Hamburg City Center” and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building with funds from the “Sustainable Inner Cities and Centers” program.
Workshops for young people
As part of our festival, we offered four free workshops on various aspects of photography and journalism for young people in and out of school. The aim of these workshops is to sensitize young people to the role of photojournalism and to strengthen their media skills.
At the same time, the workshops are an interesting opportunity for accompanying persons (e.g. teachers or youth work professionals) to learn more about visual literacy. They can then use the train-the-trainer concept to provide further media education impetus in their work.

Impressions from the workshops
A picture of the mood
Photographer
Totally positive, I'm surprised that so many people came and are still coming. I like the pop-up style, I find it likeable and uncomplicated.

Generally totally enthusiastic... There are so many people (outside our bubble) who are involved in photography here.

In times where the discourse is quite divergent and there is only black and white, it's super important that more people engage with more topics. It's great that we're taking our work out of the photojournalistic context and putting it back on the streets.

Teachers and students
We've been together as a class for six months now. And I was looking for something where I had the feeling that the students already brought a lot to the table, i.e. skills in photography. I have the feeling that they can already do a lot. And at the same time, I think a competition like this is a totally motivating framework. Because there's something to win. There is a deadline. There are guidelines. There are other schools and students who take part. And that's why I found it really good as an introduction to a new learning group. And a great topic too. Somehow very low-threshold, very easy for us to grasp.
My group and I chose the topic of procrastination... a very personal topic for all of us... I thought it was also exciting to share individual things that I've never seen in a wider context in reporting or in the media or anywhere in general and that are really represented.
We took part because we are in the art section and our teacher suggested it. And it seemed like a really cool idea and initiative to show a bit of what we can do. And we were really pleased that we made it in.
On our feedback wall
I think photojournalism is important because
- Stories want to be told
- it humanizes reports and features
- we non-photojournalists otherwise see too little of reality
- they can arouse emotions
I would like to see more photos on these topics:
- Climate change, wind turbines, nature, animals
- Love, beauty, joy, life, freedom, queer life, women, men, fatherhood, patriarchy, body diversity
- Other perspectives, multi-perspective
- Contemporary history
- Nazism, patriotism
- Techno, Fortnite, excavator
- Demos, activism
- Ukraine, Gaza
- How I can distinguish “fake photos” from “original” photos
Many thanks to our partners
