30. März 2025 von KSadmin | Kommentare deaktiviert für 15 Years Konohana—Düsseldorf.
In 2009 Japanese photographer and poet Henguchi and German photographer and artist Katja Stuke meet for the first time in Konohana, Osaka. Introduced by Goto Tetsuya, a designer, curator and long time friend, they decided to realize a photobattle the next year.
Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber had been coming to Japan since 2005. Since their first residency in Osaka in 2006 various experiences, the encounter with Japanese (sub)culture, photography- and photobook-culture had an important influence in their artistic practice. They had been developing the idea of a photobattle – in reference to hip-hop culture – for some time. At the same moment as the first ANT!FOTO exhibition in 2010, a first battle was realized at Baikado in Konohana and Bloom Gallery in Juso, Osaka. Possible approaches to the question of whether and how photography functions as a visual means of communication, whether it can be a “visual Esperanto”, are fundamental to the various Photobattle performances, but also recur repeatedly in ANT!FOTO.
The first meeting between Henguchi and Katja has since developed into many encounters, joint projects and exhibitions, an exchange between Düsseldorf and Konohana (at first in cooperation with the Cultural Office of Düsseldorf, later the WELTKUNSTZIMMER in Düsseldorf and various partners in Osaka) including artists and musicians both in Düsseldorf and Osaka. Hopefully this will keep on growing over the next years.
In April there will be two events celebrating the last 15 years in Konohana. Details and updates following soon.

In 2025 we start working on a new chapter of Cartographie Dynamique called »Die vertikale Stadt (vertical city) — a photographic screenplay«. Our focus will be on historical and cultural layers of landscape and images. On the one hand we will focus on the various layers within the city landscape. On the other hand we include different narrative layers, and different layers of perceiving and understanding photography.
While working of the project we use patreon to communicate about the new virtual reference library, publish previews of images, share ideas and grow a new Fax from the Library edition. As we try to avoid publishing images and ideas into the void of the broad social networks, we invite you to join us on patreon, become part of this new experience.
You can join the club »» and subscribe for free to follow our virtual drifting an online refencene-library including books, art, videos, movies by great artists or role models. You need to become a member or follower.
With a backstage pass »» you will have the opportunity to follow the project from the very beginning, see unpublished photographs, receive an unique instax-print or a special photo zine exclusively for patreon-subscribers.

15. Oktober 2024 von BöhmKobayashi | Kommentare deaktiviert für ANTiFOTO Matinee in Paris
“Above the rooftops, on wasteland and streets, in the basements. It grows and shrinks, offers space and freedom, inspires. It drives away, it is closed, it is colourful, noisy and stinks, it is annoying and painful. It is public and private, anonymous and cool, ugly and gorgeous. It is endless boredom, an eternal competition, emptiness and distress, a hiding place, an opportunity, a constant conflict. It is an inspiration, a playground, a prohibition; an investment, a disturbance, a nightmare. A jungle, a sound, a rhythm. It blocks the vista and provides the view. It expels, excludes, numbs; it is hectic and completely relaxed. It is dreamed, planned and built upon. And it is always more beautiful someplace else. The city.“

The «multiverse« of Katja Stuke is black and white. It consist of various types of images: photographs by the artist, material found in archives and through internet-research, generated images by text-to-image KI, screenshots from blockbuster-movies, video-games, Second Life or other online virtual-spaces. Pixel-like the video reveals little by little different layers of photographs of architecture or landscape, (parts of) bodies or abstract images. At a pace so the eyes of the viewer get a filmic impression of different realities. Adapting these visual multilayer the sound by Axel Ganz follows this idea and add several audio-layers to the images.
The exhibition also includes another video „Xerox Quad“ with a rhythmic beats by Thomas Klein and some photographic notes by Oliver Sieber.
