German-Turkish artist Abdulhamid Kircher (1996) explores the consequences of patriarchy and violence, as well as the search for reconciliation and closeness, in his analog photographic and installation work. He sees his work as a fragmented, living family album, circling the absence of the father, a void that becomes a surface for longing and projection. "Perhaps I am the one who must love him first," says Abdulhamid Kircher.The starting point for Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah's (1990) artistic work is again historical photographs from the British Empire & Commonwealth Collection in Bristol, taken in her father's birthplace in present-day Ghana. In search of alternative narratives, she detaches skies, treetops, and landscapes from their colonial context and transfers these salvaged fragments of nature onto color negatives.In a phone call, the art education team from Deichtorhallen Hamburg will introduce you in more detail to the exhibitions currently on display at PHOXXI – Temporäres Haus der Photographie."Bei Anruf Kultur" brings guided tours from the museum directly to your home via telephone in a straightforward manner.
