Press release | Amsterdam, February 2023
The Cube, Deutsche Börse AG, Mergenthalerallee 61 Eschborn/Frankfurt
The works in the group exhibition are distinguished by the innovative use of the medium of photography and deal with the essential issues of our time like the challenges of climate change, issues of identity, gender and body, discrimination, displacement as well as the far-reaching consequences of a capitalist economy. With unsparing openness, the artists dare to critically question ideological structures and deconstruct the resulting political, social, and ecological consequences for the planet, humanity, and the individual. The works in the exhibition illustrate the current state and the future trends and themes of contemporary photography.
The portfolios of the 20 selected artists of this exhibition are also featured in Foam Magazine #61: Talent. The Foam Talent 2022 programme is also complemented by an extensive digital presentation that comprises all artistic positions and offers further information in form of texts, podcasts and videos.
