from the series “I Try to Take Care of Myself Now”

“In my work, I start from personal experiences and explore stories that help me understand the world around me. I often address mental health, personal trauma, and transgenerational trauma. With the project I Try to Take Care of Myself Now, I walk a fine line between subconscious expressions and a pseudo-documentary approach, using photography as a language of connection and escapism.

I am inspired by the possibility of connection that photography holds; I want my work to make the viewer feel less alone in whatever experience they are going through. I hope my images raise more questions but also provide comfort to people that have gone through similar things.”

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.
