Realities of life in the focus of the camera
The exhibition focuses on the defining photo series that Gaudlitz created in Eastern Europe and South America. His photographs address the concrete living situations of the people there, the fine line between lived reality and its conscious staging, as well as current events. Gaudlitz’s approach is characterized by the fact that he often exposes himself to difficult living conditions in order to create genuine closeness and encounters on an equal footing with those portrayed.
Culture enthusiasts in the city on the Saale currently have a wide range of options: In addition to the photographs in the Kunstsammlung, the exhibition Lichtwechsel in Jena also invites visitors to discover ancient works of art from a new perspective.
