At FOTOTREFF #45, the artists Luise Schröder (Berlin), Dana Lorenz & Sophia Kesting (Berlin/Leipzig) will talk together with the author and curator Sonia Voss (Berlin/Paris).

Based on their current publications, they will discuss contemporary photographic perspectives on German-German history(ies) and social transformation processes.

TALK
Luise Schröder, in whose visual practice the handling of history and memory and their significance for the present play an essential role, has been researching the forgotten activities of non-governmental women's and lesbian groups in the GDR in terms of content and aesthetics since 2021/22. Her publication "Stömungen in Bewegung" was published by Fotohof Salzburg in 2025.

Over a period of twelve years, Sophia Kesting and Dana Lorenz have explored the transformation process of the Square of the Peaceful Revolution in Leipzig in documentary-artistic photographs. In their publication entitled Asphalt, Steine, Scherben (Vexer Verlag, 2024), the duo interweave their jointly developed photographic image layer with biographical text fragments.
