Exhibition venues in the city
Ladenlokal
Like many other cities, the city of Bonn is confronted with increasing vacancies in its city center. What uses beyond consumption are conceivable here? The store in Friedrichstraße, which was kindly made available to us by Hans Kohnen GmbH & Co. KG for the duration of the Videonale, is part of the Sternpassage and is to be renovated and re-let in 2025. Named after the Cologne Elector and Archbishop Max Friedrich and first mentioned as a street as early as the 14th century, Friedrichstrasse is now a lively shopping street with small stores, cafés, restaurants and its own street festival - despite the growing vacancy rate.

Artists
Amidst the bustling everyday life in the Bonn pedestrian zone, an image motif, with a touch of the hyperreal due to the extreme enlargement, steers the gaze to the display windows of a shop. Printed on transparent photo foil, ammunition for toy guns is recognisable in a larger-than-life close-up. The depiction of this martial requisite from a children’s room forms the membrane of a spatial display, in which a flying object flits about a stage-like scenery of flat screen monitors.
