From the perspective of the photographer and the curator, Espen Eichhöfer, photographer OSTKREUZ – Agentur der Fotografen, and Felix Hoffmann, curator C/O Berlin, the discussion sheds light on the debate about the right to one’s own image and artistic freedom.
Espen Eichhöfer, studied communication design in Essen and became a member of OSTKREUZ -Agentur der Fotografen in 2006. In 2013 he was faced with an injunction after presenting a photograph that had been taken on the streets of Berlin in an exhibition at C/O Berlin in the open space.
Felix Hoffmann, has been the chief curator of the C/O Berlin Foundation since 2005. He studied art history and cultural studies in Vienna and Berlin and worked at the Photo Museum in Munich, the Kupferstich-Kabinett Dresden and the Museum Folkwang in Essen.
The conversation will be held in German.
