DREIZEHN

With this year’s exhibition DREIZEHN, members of the Ostkreuzschule’s graduating class will take part in one of the renowned photography school’s traditions: a final exhibition.

Taught by Sibylle Fendt, Göran Gnaudschun and Ludwig Rauch, members of the graduating class — 22 in total — will present their thesis projects, which call attention to a wide range of subjects, photographic genres, and contemporary photographic tendencies.

Introduced by Ingo Taubhorn, curator of photography at the Haus der Photographie/Deichtorhallen Hamburg, DREIZEHN will be complemented by a side program that includes a panel discussion with members of the Ostkreuz-Verein, concerts, guided tours by Dr. Enno Kaufhold and Miriam Zlobinski, the former a historian of photography and the latter a researcher, curator, and writer, and, finally, a film screening.

We will talk with graduates of the school and one autodidact about these and other relevant matters. We will also discuss expectations and the reality of the working world, and the professional biographies of our panelists.
