Made IN DÜSSELDORF #8
Staged
August, 21 – September, 27 2026
Long gone are the days when photography and moving images served merely to represent reality or document moments for posterity. The artists featured in the exhibition show us that an image can be a construction, a chemical or digital process, a spatial statement or a linguistic fragment.

Under the title In Szene gesetzt (Staged), Made in Düsseldorf#8 brings together works from the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf’s art collection at the Kunstpalast that explore the tension between reality and human perception. Through photography, film, sound and sculpture, the artists probe the possibilities of representing reality. In doing so, they make the mediums themselves the subject, using a variety of strategies to reveal their potential, limitations and interpretive capacities. The artistic (de)construction of reality opens up new perspectives for us.
Works by Jan Dibbets, Simon Dybbroe Møller, Andreas Gefeller, Gudrun Kemsa, Sophie Meuresch, Steven Pippin, Barbara Probst, Amanda Ross-Ho and Juergen Staack are on display.
