How do images contribute to our understanding of our identity, our memories, our emotions, and our ability to grasp and process current social, societal, and political challenges? RAY Echoes offers no answers to these questions, but rather – like a laboratory – many perspectives and opportunities for individual exploration.
The artists of the RAY 2024 – Triennial of Photography use photography and related media to explore and reflect on the challenges and tensions of self-perception and human interaction. Their works span the past, present, and future, from the intimate and personal to the collective. By capturing these diverse moments and phenomena, they create an echo that draws the public’s attention to their themes. Similar to a sound experience, they create an echo that is perceived as an independent event beyond what is depicted.

On this basis, RAY Echoes concentrates on three focal points: Identity, Memory, and Emotion.
