Boris Mikhailov (*1938, Kharkov, Ukraine), is considered one of the most significant contemporary photographers. Mikhailov has the ability to discover the unusual where others see nothing. His working method is conceptual and social-documentary. His photographs are regarded as historical documents, means of creating works of art, self-portraits, and political comments. The exhibition comprises 32 works, including large-format ones, from the Superimposition series, some of which are hitherto unpublished.

At the same time, however, stricter limitations are being set for the progressive art scene. Young artists from Russia who live at home or abroad reflect social and political changes on a national and international level in videos and photographs. Curator: Bärbel Vischer
