“Contextualized by the classical motifs of Renaissance period and antique sculptural depictions of the male form, I’m fascinated by the way audiences then and now react to these suggestive undertones. The project started as an exploration of vulnerability within men, their emotions and a push against traditional roles and toxic expectations embedded within society. As time passed, and I began to see the world progressing outside of my control, I let the image-making lead the project’s direction. This resulted in a body of work that displays interpretations of our current social state, offering room to explore and reflect on where we are at this point in history.”

GEN Z: SHAPING A NEW GAZE

Duration: May 9–August 30, 2026


Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.

    The exhibition “Gen Z: Shaping a New Gaze” was organised and produced by Photo Elysée and is supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs City of Frankfurt am Main, Swiss Art Council Pro Helvetia, and Caparol.
