Stadt Wetzlar

spektrum 2023

Philipp Geist’s similarly vibrant and poetic light installation spektrum 2023 attracted thousands of visitors during the bridge festival in Wetzlar. Even Goethe whose theory of colors the artist referred to would have been delighted. We think: quite rightly so.

Points of View II

A photograph is per se a point of view. So is the question of what one sees or wants to see. Edward Barszczewski, just 11 years old, went on a photo safari at the MINT + ART workshop and brought back some truly extraordinary shots.

Points of View I

A photograph is per se a point of view. So is the question of what one sees or wants to see. Ralf A. Niggemann combines both by strolling through Wetzlar with open eyes and his Leica and making visible what others carelessly pass by.

Ernst Leitz Museum

Re-Opening

The Ernst Leitz Museum in Wetzlar celebrates its re-opening – with aplomb, yes, but also with an extraordinarily high quality in experiencing. It is a museum which grabs visitors by the hand and invites them to participate. On a tour through the museum, we could see that this concept pays off.

Leitz-Park

Seeing Is Believing

Photography has taught us to believe what we see. With the Leica Thambar-M 1:2,2/90, one is ready to renounce that belief. Ralf A. Niggemann took a stroll with the soft-focus lens in Leitz Park and brought back some incredible pictures.
