What stands between us: Works by Belorusets at the European Month of Photography

What stands between us: Phototgraphy as a Medium for Chronicling

Central festival exhibition of EMOP Berlin – European Month of Photography 2025

In times of crisis, we let ourselves to be polarised by images. We want to use our own voice – and images – to counter the increasing division. But what knowledge can photographic images still convey? Isn’t it the camera that stands between us? It constantly records and reinforces the respective certainties in countless channels. Images deepen rifts, mark dissent and themselves become a medium of polarisation.

This exhibition interrupts this cycle. Projects by around 20 artists stand for listening and learning from Others through their own voices. In micro-histories, the works address issues such as the connection between social classification and educational opportunities, ongoing experiences of exclusion, and the radicalisation of parts of society. But Russia’s war against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East are also scrutinised in the contributions.

With works from Ilit Azoulay, Yevgenia Belorusets, Cana Bilir-Meier, Hannah Darabi & Benoît Grimbert, Fungi (aka Phuong Tran Minh), Bérangère Fromont, Beate Gütschow, Raisan Hameed, John Heartfield, Leon Kahane, Susanne Keichel, Simon Lehner, Boris Mikhailov, Pınar Öğrenci, Helga Paris, Einar Schleef, Maya Schweizer, Wenke Seemann, Christine Würmell, Tobias Zielony

The exhibition was curated by Maren Lübbke-Tidow.
