Modernes Leben, Neue Bilder [Modern Life, New Pictures] has been created on the basis of new shots of old motifs. The photographers exhibiting have produced something new by harking back to their own previous work. Places, people and moods already captured in the medium of photography form a pool of pictorial recollections out of which fresh creation can take place.

The theme stimulates the artists in an almost poetic way, inspiring them to engage in concrete terms with their visions and desires, so that their newly acquired realisations may prompt them in the search for new subjects. The old photographs are like fragments of a lost treasure map which a retake may now be in a position to complete.

In the end the past and modernity confront one another. Dynamisms become transparent, and the author of the picture finds novel ways of reflecting his or her mode of work and finding a relation to the progress of time. Personally important, familiar, moving, stimulating and exciting images and even images that have been wholly forgotten are rediscovered and replayed.
