Young photography, discovered and presented by two of the country’s leading contemporary photographers—that was the idea behind a new program launched in 2016 with which the Ruhrtriennale festival promotes talented emerging photographers. This book showcases the impressive results of two master classes taught by Daniel Josefsohn (b. 1961) and Julian Röder (b. 1961) as well as new works by the teachers themselves. “PAD BED CASH” (Where you live, where you love, and what you spend your money on) was the theme Josefsohn set for his class. Röder framed the idea of the “Light of Our Days” as an allegorical allusion to what is visible yet goes disregarded, to progress, the past, and illumination. The four young photographers Louisa Boeszoermeny, Jakob Ganslmeier, Gregor Schmidt, and Julian Slagman were selected from numerous applicants and given one week to realize their creative visions with professional support. The photographic series they produced reflect the mottos of the classes as well as the postindustrial landscape of the Ruhr Agglomeration, where most of the pictures were taken. The volume contains the complete set of ca. eighty pictures as well as an exclusive conversation between Daniel Josefsohn and Julian Röder, each of whom also contributed three new pieces.
