Thomas Hoepker: Muhammad Ali, Lovers Lane and Children playing at Berlin Wall
Thomas Hoepker's humanistic documentations shaped the understanding of artistic author photography and have themselves become part of the history of photography. In 1989, Hoepker became the first german photographer to become a full member of the Magnum Photos agency and led it as president from 2003 to 2007. His portraits of Muhammad Ali are world famous and part of numerous book publications. His photographs are represented in the most important collections and museums. The photographer lives and works in New York. This year, in addition to the "classics" (Muhammad Ali, New York) from Hoepker's work, we are also showing a series of vintage prints that were created at the Berlin Wall in 1963. In their correspondence with each other, this compilation creates a photographic period through history and with those who shaped this history.

Michael Wolf: In the Corner Houses
The internationally renowned german photographer Michael Wolf continues his visual search for overlooked and underestimated urban phenomena. These residential and commercial buildings from the 1950s and 1960s are an expression of local Chinese pragmatism and practicality in the economic austerity of the first post-war decades. The photographic presentation captures the inherent paradoxes of their architectural character: the quiet prominence, the attractive banality and the tectonic chaos - all integral to Hong Kong's urban qualities and development. Michael Wolf's photographs already stand alongside the works of Andreas Gursky and Candida Höfer, have struck a chord with a wide audience and have now also become part of our collective memory. With his images, Michael Wolf has added a contemporary contribution to the genre of the cityscape in fine art and photography. The photographs are part of Michael Wolf's major retrospectives, are shown worldwide and are in relevant international collections.

Yasuhiro Ogawa: Into the Silence & The Dreaming Yasuhiro
Yasuhiro Ogawa is considered one of the new and strong voices in Japanese photography. His work is in an area that takes up the classic motifs and contemplative attitude of Japanese landscape photography and combines them with contemporary photographic means such as abstract compositions, unusual perspectives or blurs. His almost cinematic-like images transport the viewer to another reality, transforming our environment into dream landscapes. Through his unique perspective and emotional depth, Ogawa captures the beauty and mystery of travel and creates images that are both timeless and impressive. The artist has received the Taiyo Award and the New Comer Award from the Photographic Society of Japan for his images, among others, and is one of the most important contemporary new photographers in Japan.
