ROOM FOR DOUBT

Analogue photography is rooted in experimentation, trial-and-error processes, and often uncertain outcomes, thus enabling spaces that resist contemporary demands for productivity, efficiency, and overachievement. By carving room for doubt, the exhibition platforms humble approaches to one’s artistic practice and to the world. Room for Doubt refers to the spaces—mental, emotional, physical, or social—where certainty gives way to questioning. Departing from the saying “seeing is believing”, we also invite photographers whose work encourages critical thinking and makes us question our assumptions and beliefs.

Room for doubt welcomes projects that embrace uncertainty as a fertile, creative ground, and doubt as a necessary tool for learning how to see the world differently.

For this year’s edition, we’ve invited only Berlin-based schools and collectives to take part in the exhibition. By focusing on the local scene, we aim to strengthen connections within the analogue photography community and bridge gaps between professionals, amateurs, and students.

Participating organizations include Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie, Lette Verein, Stattlab, and Fotografie Berlin e.V.
