Frank Gaudlitz in the Kunstsammlung Jena: Photography as a Journey Through Time and Reality
The exhibition FRANK GAUDLITZ in the Kunstsammlung Jena invites a precise, penetrating examination of the works. The focus is on series about Eastern Europe and South America, where the photographer connects life situations, staging, and the present with great closeness and analytical clarity. The exhibition runs in the Kunstsammlung Jena at Markt 7 and is open until 20.09.2026; on 10.09.2026, it opens at 10:00 AM.

Photography Between Closeness and Social Perspective
Frank Gaudlitz works with an approach that sees people not as subjects, but as counterparts. His photographs arise from travels, encounters, and a conscious closeness to the depicted life worlds. The Kunstsammlung Jena thereby emphasizes a photographic practice that makes historical and social processes visible and connects aesthetic experience with social observation.

Eastern Europe and South America as Visual Spaces
The exhibition focuses on groups of works where Gaudlitz explores the tension between reality and staging. His visual language remains documentary, yet poetic and characterized by a quiet intensity. This combination of formal rigor and human immediacy brings out the appeal of the exhibition and gives the art experience in Jena special depth.
