Over the Rue Edmond Bartissol in the old town of Perpignan, a banner with the inscription “Identity – Courage – Love” has been flying since last Saturday. <\/strong>Three beekeepers in the middle of the dusty Arizona desert look down on passers-by. A sign on the sidewalk reveals that this is where visitors to the Visa Pour l’Image Off festival can see the latest photographic works from Hanover. For the 19th time, students from the Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography program at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts are represented in Perpignan with their own exhibition.

This was made possible by a grant from the city of Hanover. Perpignan in the south of France is the twin city of the capital of Lower Saxony. In addition to the exhibition, an exchange program also took place within the framework of this partnership. The program also included various talks with photographers such as Sabiha \u00c7imen and Finnbarr O’Reilly.

The students of the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts traveled to Perpignan by Fotobus<\/a>. This initiative allows up to 32 people to travel to photo festivals for free. The excursion was led by Prof. Christoph Bangert.<\/p>\n\n\n

The exhibited works were selected by a jury of seven students.<\/strong> In “Apple Pie” Tanya Tkachova<\/a> tells the story of her mother and her connection to the place in the south-east of Belarus where she spent a large part of her life. Miriam Schwab<\/a> explores alternative ways of living together in While a Tree Grows. In this ongoing project about a small town in Hesse, she documents a young community living in houses on wheels.

Serghei Duve’s<\/a> work “Dokan” shows the reality of life of a young adult living in “Canarisweg” on the outskirts of Hannover. The photographer himself has lived in the settlement, which has the reputation of a hot spot. In “Fallen trees for highway 49” Tim Wagner<\/a> shows the story of the occupation of the Dannenr\u00f6der Forest by activists* until they were evicted by the police at the end of 2020.

In “Where you can feel silence” Laila Sieber<\/a> and Helena Lea Manhartsberger<\/a> explore the new normality in Western Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion. The work essayistically paints a picture of a country that wishes to wake up from a nightmare come true. In “The Dying River,” Jonas Kak\u00f3<\/a> follows the drying Colorado. 44 million people depend on the river’s water, which has been dwindling since the 1980s.

“I’m not the one” by Alex Wohn features essayistic looks at the past and present. The photographer wonders who he was yesterday and who he is today. Uma Anami’s project “The color of milk” explores artistic closeness, femininity and the connection to water. In “Sensory Lab” by Elisabeth Schindler<\/a>, everything revolves around the exploration of food. It shows how companies are optimizing their products through sensors and technology. In his work “A family by choice”, the student Gio sheds light on nuances of living together in the wagon yard in Hanover, where he himself lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
