New exhibition "Street Photography Mixtape".
We search, see and marvel. For years. And then we stop. Just like that.
We keep looking at the clock, but hardly ever look at the world.
More and more people are discovering in street photography a way to rekindle their childlike enthusiasm for the everyday.
Word is spreading: the styles that have developed in the genre in recent years are as colorful as life itself.
The exhibition "STREET PHOTOGRAPHY MIXTAPE"
is dedicated to this wealth of styles:
16 photographers from Cologne and the surrounding area present their individual view of the street, their very own sound.
Each photo is a track of its own, telling its own story.

About the book:
“Köln, das sei ein Biotop für Bekloppte, stellte der Kölner Kabarettist Jürgen Becker bereits Anfang der 90er Jahre fest. Eine These, die sich auch heute noch mühelos bestätigen lässt. Sei es im Karneval, im Brauhaus oder auf den Ringen: Köln ist die Stadt-gewordene Zelebrierung menschlicher Absurdität. Es ist daher wenig überraschend, dass dieses Phänomen zunehmend auch in den Mittelpunkt kölscher Straßenfotografie gerückt ist.[...]
[...] Die Fotografinnen und Fotografen, die sich hier vorstellen, waren unterwegs, haben sich geduldig durchgekämpft und sich vernetzt. Und ganz nebenbei ihre Blicke geschärft für die kleinsten Sprossen des Absurden, des Komischen und des Poetischen in der grauen Einsamkeit des pandemischen Kölns. Sie haben gelernt, auch in der vermeintlichen Einöde des Vertrauten Sehens- und Zeigenswertes zu entdecken. Und sie beweisen, welch farbenfroher Flickenteppich entstehen kann, wenn sich Menschen verschiedener biografischer und fotografischer Prägungen aufmachen, ein und dieselbe Stadt auf ihre je eigene Weise zu interpretieren. Dabei herausgekommen ist ein kleines, aber feines Heftchen, gewissermaßen das fotografische Psychogramm einer Stadt, die ihre sympathische Beklopptheit wie eine Medaille vor sich herträgt.”
