Julia Runge, Yana Wenicke, Ira Thiessen tell their home-seeking stories in their own ways. In the work Privet Germania, Ira Thiessen orchestrates late emigrants from Russia in their living spaces. Julia Runge adopts a similar approach in her series Basterland, where she encountered the descendants of German colonial rulers in Namibia.
In the series Will-o'-the-wisp, Yana Wenicke shows a place where Sorbian ancient customs and traditions are kept alive, while simultaneously reviving their myths and legends.
Different from these five photographers, Jonas Feige shoots what he sees from daily life scenes, which is not about deliberate seeking but more about "coincidence". For him, photography can tell fabled stories, even talk about the future, "which the paintings can't do."
"It is a refreshing experience while we travel with these works in this exhibition. We all spend our whole life embarking on a home coming journey, whether it is physical or spiritual. I wish we all find peace", Wang said.
