In a photo project by Herbert Mau and Thomas Ahrens, 22 course participants from integration courses at the Institute for German Language Offenburg were portrayed and interviewed about their lives. The results are shown in the exhibition "Das Rauschen der Zeit". You are cordially invited to view the exhibition until October 12.
Where do the people come from? How are they currently doing? What are their plans for the future? The people portrayed talk about their lives, feelings and motivations, giving visitors an insight into their lives and migration history.
The photo portraits convey a "temporal noise" that metaphorically stands for this transition, from the past to the present and the future. The noise has an effect on the reality of life, the mental state, the motivation and the well-being of the people portrayed. The themes of power and powerlessness, loneliness and solidarity, sadness and happiness as well as despair and hope are brought to life through the images and the stories behind them.
The photo project was carried out in February 2024. The exhibition is a cooperation with the Institut für deutsche Sprache Offenburg.
