For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.
In this episode, John Karp welcomes Stephan Machac from the City of Düsseldorf, Kim-Camille Kreuz, the curator of the booth, and the artist duo Hedda Roman. Together, they present the city’s non-commercial initiative “Düsseldorf and Photography”, a collective exhibition bringing together 35 artists selected through a collaborative process involving curators from local museums and institutions.
Machac explains how Düsseldorf, historically shaped by the Becher School, is redefining its photographic identity through this platform, aiming to connect artists, institutions, and the public around contemporary photographic practices. Kreuz details the democratic curation process and the decision to rotate works daily, creating a living exhibition that evolves throughout the fair.
The duo Hedda Roman discuss their new works, created for their recent solo show in Bielefeld and shown in Paris Photo’s Digital Sector. Blending photography, collage, and AI, their work explores what they call “ultra fluidity”—a way of responding to a world in constant transformation through flexible, fragile, and mobile visual forms.
