Open around the clock for everyone

Dokumentärt is a concept born from the idea of showcasing visual storytelling in public spaces – places that are accessible to everyone, at any time, without the need for staff. Together with a property owner, we have developed a modular exhibition that can be installed in an empty retail space with display windows during periods between tenants or during renovations. It’s a way to spark curiosity and shed light on our times by using public space as a place for reflection and dialogue. Documentary photography plays a central role here – it captures reality as it is and tells stories that might otherwise remain unseen.

At a time when developments in AI are challenging the credibility of documentary images in various ways – where images can be created, manipulated, and "enhanced" digitally – it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine what is real. This affects our trust in photography as a true depiction of reality, something that has historically been the core of documentary photography. That’s why projects like Dokumentärt are more important than ever – to highlight and reaffirm the significance of documentary images in our contemporary world.
