Oleñka Carrasco and La Chica, Regula Tschumi, Eric Bouvet and Yan Morvan, Shelby Duncan, Yuan Goang-Ming, Verdiana Albano, Andi Gáldi Vinkó, Pietro Bologna, Soum Eveline, FREELENS (Arne Piepke, Antine Karla Yzer, Aliona Kardash, Alex Bex, Sarah Mei Herrman, Tamara Eckhardt), Deutsche Fotografische Akademie (Wolfgang Gscheidle, Katrin Jaquet, Fatih Kurçeren, Paula Markert, Sabine Schründer and Andreas Trogisch), HfG Photo (Lena Bils, Antonia Elsa Karnetzky, Elinor Karl, Simon Gilmer, Len David Oswald, Ilayda Dagli, Florian Albrecht Schoeck, Martin Liebscher, Thomas Bayrle) In the face of the intensifying fragmentation dynamics currently sweeping the world—ideological polarization, social divisions, individual isolation, and armed conflicts—and which contribute to the global geopolitical crisis—the artists featured in the exhibition Come Together, organized by the Foundation Manuel Rivera-Ortiz in collaboration with FotoHaus, explore the many forms taken by the fundamental human experience of connection: tensions, contradictions, strengths, solidarity, ruptures, and vulnerabilities. Through various photographic languages, as well as video, music, and experimental imagery, the exhibition encourages visitors to examine—through different themes—funeral rituals, educational relationships, family ties, shared experiences, elective affinities, and unexpected encounters—that (in)visible thread that unites us as much as it divides us. Come Together brings together multiple perspectives, both individual and collective, that highlight the tension between separation and interdependence at the heart of contemporary societies.
