Vintage Mode 2.020 II

The students (1996/1997) of Culture and Technology use their favourite medium, photography, to describe how elements of past eras are reproduced in today’s youth culture.

A mixture of digital and analogue photography reveals how young adults pick up on past trends in order to trace an attitude to life that is perceived as familiar. In combination with advanced technologies, a completely new flair is created, which makes social and technical change processes visible. This variety of different stylistic elements is particularly noticeable in Berlin, where the majority of the pictures were taken. The decentralised nature of Berlin’s urban structure creates a wide variety of atmospheres, which are also tangible in the various places that the photographers have visited for this exhibition. The viewer is confronted with a feeling of nostalgia that unfolds new effects, especially in the presence of pandemic events. #vintage2020
