How does an image come into being, and what changes when its conditions shift? The exhibition „Upside Down / Inside Out – zwischen Lichtbild und Datenbild“ brings together three forms of image-making: the walk-in camera obscura, photographic recordings, and the image generated by generative AI. Bärbel Möllmann makes Schloss Benrath the place and a component of image-making, asking how light, space, and technical systems shape our perception and our trust in images.
Runtime: 14 November 2026 to 20 December 2027 The opening takes place on 13 November 2026 at 19:00 in the Museum für Gartenkunst (in the East Wing).
The exhibition takes the camera obscura as its starting point for reflecting on images and how they are made. At its centre are the artistic work of Bärbel Möllmann and the special experience of entering the dark image space of the camera obscura.
