On display are portraits, intimate scenes in protected privacy and public manifestations that document the claim to their own respected space.
The themes of the positions are: Identity, i.e. subjectivity, personality, individuality, in all its facets and variations, without rigid fixation or restriction. Without external attributions and role clichés.
Not only do people have different identities, but everyone has changing, self-chosen identities – depending on the different life situations and roles they have taken on. Identity is not a fixed quantity. The exhibited works are narratives about the pursuit of a self-determined life.
