The Ecological Footprint of Image Production

9 March - 29 May 2023

Just how sustainable is the "eternal moment"? To what extent does the production of photographs contribute to man-made climate change? Mining Photography. The Ecological Footprint of Image Production looks at the history of the key raw materials involved in photography: how they are mined originally, how they are disposed of, and the impact on our environment. A history of materials in five acts!

At the exhibition, historical photographs, contemporary artistic stances and interviews with experts tell the story of art photography from the perspective of its industrial production. Where, for example, did the copper come from that was used for Hermann Biow’s famous daguerreotype of Alexander von Humboldt? Showcasing 170 works, the exhibition impressively illustrates how, ever since its invention, the medium of photography has contributed to man-made changes in nature – and continues to do so to this day.
