The corona pandemic has changed everyone’s life significantly. Artistic work and art viewing were and are often only possible to a limited extent in the course of the lockdown and physical distancing. Depending on the situation, numerous new forms of production, presentation and reception were tried out. At the same time, the cut of the lockdown also brings time and space to reflect on current challenges, circumstances and ways of life. Because at the latest with the previously unthinkable temporary paralysis of entire industries, it has become clear: there is another way!

As part of an open call, artists with a focus on photography were invited to submit their personal perspectives on the topic „What comes after…“. A selection of the preserved works can be seen in the exhibition of the same name in shop windows along a route in the east of Leipzig.
With the format of the art walk, taking into account the measures to contain the pandemic, insights into various aspects of transformation processes are given at a total of ten stations using a variety of artistic positions and the discussion of various future scenarios and utopias is encouraged .

A project by interaction Leipzig eV as part of the annual theme „Art in Translation“. Funded by the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig – many thanks!

The corona pandemic has changed everyone’s life considerably. Due to the lockdown and physical distancing, artistic work as well as art appreciation were and are often only possible to a limited extent. Situation-related, several new forms of production, presentation and reception of art have been tested. At the same time, this lockdown also brings time and space to reflect on current challenges, circumstances and ways of life. And as the temporary paralysis of entire industries, previously unthinkable, has made clear: there is another way!

Within the framework of an open call, artists with a focus on photography were invited to submit their personal perspectives on the topic „What comes after…“. A selection of the works received can be seen in the exhibition of the same name in shop windows along a route in the east of Leipzig.
With the format of an art walk that is taking account of the containment measures of the pandemic, a total of ten stops along the exhibition route show a variety of artistic positions. The photographic works offer insights into various aspects of transformation processes and encourage the discussion of different future scenarios and utopias.

A project of interaction Leipzig eV within the scope of the annual topic „Art in Translation“.
Funded by the Cultural Office of the city of Leipzig – thank you very much!
