Siegen. The Subjective View of the City
5 May 2023 – 8 October 2023
As a city, “Siegen” exists only once in Germany. But is there really only one Siegen? What characterises this Siegen? What does Siegen mean to you?
The exhibition took you on a visual adventure. Not only could you discover different corners of Siegen at different times, but also your own perception of the city, shaped by experiences and encounters. What do you see in the historical and contemporary views of the city? What memories and associations do they evoke in you? What do they make you feel? Your relationship with the city and your perspective of the images was an immaterial and mental part of the exhibition! Five exhibition areas each provided thematic impulses and questions to guide the exploration.
