Size Matters - Scale in Photography

Our Düsseldorf CityTip

Of all media, photography is the easiest to change its scope. It traditionally creates miniatures of the world, but can also show things life-size and larger than life and make the invisible visible. The exhibition explores the theme of photographic proportions through a series of contrasts, including historical and contemporary attempts to control proportions in the image and deliberate games of confusion. Size in photography has many consequences. It is precisely through its dimensional mobility, as the exhibition shows, that the medium achieves power in cultural, social and political contexts.

The exhibition will take place at Kunstpalast from February 1 to 20 May 2024.
