Snap the spirit of Berlin: City Museum calls for courtyard photos
Photos of Berlin's inner yards wanted by museum for exhibition - Museum in the city seeks images of Berlin's interior courtyards
Get ready to capture the unique charm of Berlin's courtyards! The City Museum is on a hunt for eye-catching photos of these hidden pockets of the city, inviting photographers of all skill levels to join the fun. Submit your entries by July 1st - the museum is expecting a diverse range of perspectives to breathe life into their upcoming special exhibition, "Berlin Courtyards," set to debut at the Ephraim Palace Museum on July 18th.
This isn't just about capturing small outdoor spaces—these courtyards are much more than mere turnaround areas for fire trucks or parking spaces for vehicles and trash bins. They're a stunning tapestry of city life, pulsating with the rhythm of work, life, and relaxation. They're places where people meet, form communities, and gather for shared experiences—not just residential, school, commercial, or artist courtyards, but also courtyard gardens and courtyard restaurants.
"Got a knack for photography? Send us your snaps that encapsulate the essence and daily life in modern-day Berlin courtyards," the museum pleads. "Whether you're a hobbyist, a seasoned pro, or new to the game, your unique perspective is valuable to us."
Don't miss this golden opportunity to become a part of Berlin's vibrant art scene! Not only will all submissions be showcased on the City Museum's website but a select few will feature in the exhibition.
Berlin's courtyards often serve as creative canvases for art installations and exhibitions, making them perfect subjects for your lens. Take inspiration from Alicja Kwade's projection, "Carriers II," displayed at #DieTankstelle, shared with @galeriejudin.
If you're eager to immerse yourself in Berlin's diverse art scene, mark your calendars for:
- Yoko Ono: ‘Music of the Mind’ at Gropius Bau, until August 31, 2025.
- Monica Bonvicini: ‘It is Night Outside’ at Capitain Petzel, until June 7, 2025.
These inspiring exhibitions will no doubt fuel your creativity and motivation for your courtyard photography endeavor. Good luck, and happy shooting!
