Currency: Photography Beyong Capture at The Deichtorhallen Hamburg
SCOPE OF WORK
Exhibtion Design
Art Direction
Publication Design
As part of the 8th edition of the Triennial of Photography Hamburg – Currency: Photography Beyond Capture explores artistic engagements with photography in the “retinal age,” where images not only act as records and imprints but fundamentally shape acts of seeing and being seen. The exhibition approaches photographs as contextual frames for narrative invention rather than as documents of binding truth or essence. Currency considers how knowledge is sought and reimagined through conceptual approaches to the photographic medium.
The exhibition took place at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and was curated by Koyo Kouoh, Rasha Salti, Gabriella Beckhurst Feijoo and Oluremi C. Onabanjo
I was tasked to work on the exhibtion design, wall texts, captions, and artwork placements. In order to break the space in a unique and fluid manner, we came up with the idea to build big OSB walls that were placed diagonally in the space. This allowed us to create a free flowing movement in the space, with no strict pathway.
Additionally, I designed the exhibtion guide, where the inner pages were to be printed in black and white.
Artists include Akinbode Akinbiyi, Claudia Andujar, Ziad Antar, Vartan Avakian, Edson Chagas, rana elnemr, Oroma Elewa, Anne-Marie Filaire, Ragnar Axelsson, Lyle Ashton Harris, Leslie Hewitt, Alfredo Jaar, Lebohang Kganye, Clifford Prince King, Osamu James Nakagawa, Guevara Namer, Marilyn Nance, Mame-Diarra Niang, Otobong Nkanga, Elle Pérez, Jo Ractliffe, Ashfika Rahman, Cecilia Reynoso, RaMell Ross, Fazal Sheikh, Alexey Vasilyev, Carrie Yamaoka, Raed Yassin, Paul Yeung.
