About the exhibition

The main exhibition of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg, curated by Mark Sealy, celebrates the cultural and artistic diversity of photography and its healing and transformative power. It creates an open, polyphonic space of encounter that questions societal polarizations and seeks to overcome the division between “us” and the “other”. At the same time, the exhibition renders tangible the ethical principles underpinning the festival “Alliance, Infinity, Love – In the Face of the Other” as a lived experience.

The exhibition presents around 30 artistic positions spanning photography, video, and film, recounting stories rooted in a wide range of places and cultural experiences—from Australia and Japan to Lebanon and Palestine, from Brazil and Jamaica to South Africa, Brussels or London, and Greenland.
