FOTODOK lets documentary images ask further questions

In a former school building, FOTODOK presents changing photographic stories on social issues, with guided tours and an international network of makers.

Plan your visit ↗

A series rather than a single image

Documentary photography often works through sequence. Choose three photos from one series and see how order, caption and repetition build meaning together.

Who is looking at whom?

Exhibitions on violence, territory or power call for attention to the position of the photographer and the person portrayed. Look for information on the commission, consent and publication context before you draw conclusions.

Guided tour and current calendar

On Saturdays there is usually a short introductory tour; groups book in advance. Between regular exhibitions the hours may differ, so an old exhibition announcement is no proof of current opening.

Before you go

Regularly Wednesday–Sunday 11.30–17.30, but check whether an exhibition is on. The exhibition space can only be reached by stairs.
