Is society’s attitude towards the LGBTQIA* movement an indicator of the state of our democracy? The exhibition project THE LINE BETWEEN US, realized in collaboration with laif agency and laif foundation, is dedicated to the challenge of showing and debating the realities of queer people’s lives. In view of the current increase in violence against queer people, the project has become even more urgent. In the exhibition, the eleven photographers scrutinize normative attributions from the inside perspective of the queer community. With photographic self-portrayals, portraits, reportages, documentaries and installations, they provide a wide-ranging insight into their work, which includes both an aesthetic and a political agenda. The visual concepts of their contributions focus on the force of empowerment and togetherness, on invisibility as a survival strategy for queer people in hostile environments and on the price of visibility. At times glamorous, at times ruthless, at times quiet and seemingly casual, the photographs reveal a multi-layered panorama of photographic appropriation of a fluid representation beyond stigmatization and discrimination. With their self-determined depictions, the artists offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of queer people and show different perspectives on the effects of continuous oppression and the extraordinary strength that comes from resistance. The project THE LINE BETWEEN US raises awareness for respectful coexistence and ultimately also poses the question of how the medium of photography can initiate processes of social change.
