RAW Photo Triennale Worpswede 2023
Annual topic »TURNING POINT. TURNING WORLD«
Social, political and societal reality is characterised by changes, crises and critical moments. Whether technological innovations, ecological catastrophes, demographic upheavals or socio-cultural paradigm shifts - the world is at a turning point. With the theme “Turning Point. Turning World”, the fourth edition of RAW aims to focus on this process of radical change and to present artists whose works intensively engage with the social, political and ecological narratives of our world. The selection will be made by an (inter)national team of curators. Under the four keywords #RISK, #FAKE, #EGO and #NEXT, the central exhibitions of the RAW Photo Triennial on this year’s theme “Turning Point. Turning World”, the central exhibitions of the RAW Photo Triennial offer a mixture of current documentary and artistic photo and video works.

The search for truthfulness and the perfection of deception do not form an insurmountable opposition for the artistic positions of the exhibition #FAKE when dealing with the photographic medium. In times of media overload with fake news, the dividing line between fiction and reality is becoming increasingly blurred. Raising awareness of this is the intention of the works presented. With a broad spectrum of photographic approaches, collective values are questioned.
