JÜRGEN KLAUKE at RAY Triennale Frankfurt

The international Triennial of Photography RAY, organized by Fotografieprojekte gGmbH, was founded in 2010 on the initiative of the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain to bundle and highlight the expertise and diversity of artistic photography and related media in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region.

Echoes – i.e., not just one echo, but a multitude of echoes: an exciting, oscillating idea. For photographers, an ‘object’ triggers an association – they respond through framing, angle, shadow and light, colour or black and white mixes. This in turn triggers an echo in the viewer: a spontaneous ‘yes, that’s exactly how it is’, and the start of a longer reflection or resistance. Or sometimes all of the above. From May to September, this year’s RAY Triennial of Photography once again unites several renowned cultural institutions in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region with photography and video exhibitions on the theme of Echoes. The aim is to raise awareness of the medium of photography throughout the region. I wish everyone

an open-minded, receptive audience, one that is not noncommittal – contemplating photographs, debating, discussing, and developing their own strategies for action. Photographs show and desire: an attitude.
