Discourse

Theory & Dialogue

We organise think tanks and symposia.

We publish, we analyse, we discuss. In our Photoszene magazine L.Fritz, voices from science and research always have their say, they accompany our programmes and reflect on them. In interview films, we bring together people who are connected by photography, and in the photo book quartet, we have been taking apart new and old photo books with changing guests for 10 years. Discuss with us!
