Tokihiro Sato "paints" with light, moving like a performer in front of the camera. In his works, the moment of time actually becomes visible and leaves traces in diverse settings. The Japanese artist's black-and-white photographs thus unfold a poetic effect and at the same time examine the determinants of the medium itself. Friedhelm Hütte, head of Deutsche Bank’s art department, talks with the artist, who lives in Tokyo, about his works and artistic practice.

With the photographer Marie Tomanova – living in New York and born in the Czech Republic – and the curator Thomas Beachdel we talk about her journey from a small Czech town to the multicultural metropolis. Why did she as a trained painter take up photography only after her relocation? What role plays photography in dealing with her own identity as well as with the identity of young New Yorkers? And why do her pictures attract attention worldwide? Do they gain even more relevance in the current political development in the US? The discussion will be in English.
