In recent years, Europe has shown itself mainly as a continent in crisis. It is interesting, however, to tell the many other stories: those of the small utopias and grand visions that have been realised in everyday life. Crossing borders, photographers go out in search for traces of this other Europe.
Their works show us people facing the current economic and social challenges with courage and creativity. Beyond traditional Western lifestyles and consumerist habits, they are generating models for sustainable living in a globalised world.
The exhibition CHANGING Realities at the Alexanderplatz subway station presents 16 photographic positions with exceptional aesthetic visual solutions. On billboards – ordinarily altars of Western consumerist society – they create a surprising ‘art space’, and thus constitute not only an exhibition, but also an artistic intervention in public space.
