Orbit IV–VI
The artistic tandems continued in the summer of 2025: in the former Schalthaus 2.0 building on the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein, Shaft XII, former photography students from the Folkwang University of the Arts once again presented their work together with current students. Three exhibitions offered thematically and visually diverse perspectives, with the space being used, transformed, or even reworked in a specific way for each exhibition.
The summer exhibitions were preceded by two application phases. First, an open call was published, inviting photography graduates to apply for the exhibition format. After the jury selected three artists, photography students could then apply, and the artistic tandems were formed.
