Be it Berlin, Brasilia, Durban or Lagos, Akinbode Akinbiyi (*1946 Oxford, UK) wanders the world’s megacities for his photography.
He records what he observes with an analogue camera, predominantly in black-and-white. His pictures are visual metaphors that address cultural change and social exclusion, but also the impact of colonialism on social policy and urban design—as in the evolving series “African Quarter”, begun in Berlin’s Wedding district in the 1990s. With about 120 photographs drawn from seven different series, the exhibition illustrates key aspects of his oeuvre. The internationally renowned photographer and writer has been awarded the Hannah Höch Prize for 2024.
