Life_Ticker. Bildpublizistik im 20. Jahrhundert

A new exhibition entitled “Life_Ticker. Bildpublizistik im 20. Jahrhundert” opens on Saturday 28 November at 6 pm at the Erfurt Kunsthalle on Erfurt’s Fischmarkt. The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the University of Erfurt and invites visitors on a journey through 100 years of photography and photojournalism that is as rich as it is fascinating.

Since the 1920s, photographic images have shaped our view of the world – disseminated through journals and the mass media, which served both as a working platform and a stage for photographers. The exhibition highlights this close connection by, for the first time, displaying photographs and their publications side by side on an equal footing. This provides fascinating insights into the journeys of images – from the moment they are created to their impact in the public sphere.

Around 300 exhibits across ten sections bring together iconic photographs and their media contexts – from early photo-essays right up to the present day. It also highlights how images shape our collective memory and continue to evolve in the digital age.

The exhibition will run until 21 February 2027.
