And here are their answers:

Monika Flack, curator:

She simply cannot decide.

Rania Sid Otmane, projekt manager:

The series ‘Secret Universe’, in the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum.

Why? Because it’s just that: ‘secret’. Secret Universe II, with Paul Laffoley, was particularly interesting.

Astrid Müller, press officer:

This summer I was in the C/O Gallery in Berlin. The Larry Clark photographs impressed and upset me: these young people with their lives, their bodies, their sexuality, and their sadness. The high hopes that are present in such a young life, and the extreme vulnerability at the same time, all encompassed in one body and one moment—I was floored and touched.

Wiebke Hauschildt, Social Media:

The most exciting exhibition for me was the Alfredo Jaar exhibition in the Berliner Gallery. The Way it Is. An Aesthetics of Resistance. I was very moved by how he presented the works. He involves the viewers not only emotionally, but also physically, through his use of a spatial and textual guidance system, among other things, as he did, for example, with the work The Eyes of Gutete Emerita“ (1996). The visitor walks along a darkened hallway where the walls are printed with the story of a woman who witnessed her own family being murdered in a massacre during the genocide in Rwanda. In following the words you also fathom Alfredo Jaar’s memories of them: her eyes. At the end of the hall you enter a dark room with a light table standing in the middle, heaped high with one million slides of Gutete Emerita’s eyes—corresponding to the number of the genocide’s dead.
