The largest Jewish community in the Balkans was nearly erased by the German occupiers during in the Second World War. The artists followed the local traces and used photography and text to explore the possibilities of memory. However, only a few people can bring to life the stone fragments of what was once a multiethnic city, one in which several religions had coexisted for centuries.
With an Room Installation by Paula Gehrman.
The Exhibition was possible with the friendly support from Halle 14, The City of Leipzig, The Cultural Fonds of Saxony, Tacheles Programm and The Goethe Institut of Thessaloniki.
Exhibition Pair / Unpair at Spinnerei Archiv massiv
The exhibition will open at the Spinnerei Galleries Rundgang weekend on 25. und 26.4.2026

In her twelve-part series Pair/Unpair, Margret Hoppe shows pairings and neighbourhoods in Gropius House that are created through the deliberate merging of places and photo-technically created settings.
The artist achieves a clear change of perspective in her view of the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau. The double-exposure colour photographs were preceded by a study of the architectural plans and the functional approaches of the 90-degree rotated structures of the Masters’ Houses as well as an examination of the changes to the building stock over the decades. The photographer also focussed on Lucia Moholy’s black-and-white light images and thus on the most famous photographs of the Dessau buildings. This intensive examination of the past and present was made possible by a residency at the Muche House in 2024.

Reflective Architecture
