Industrial Culture, Photography, and Contemporary History
The historic Malakow tower of Zeche Hannover provides the perfect setting for this exhibition. Döring's works connect documentary photography with regional industrial history and tell stories of ports, freighters, coking plants, and steel mills. This creates an event experience that not only informs but also makes the atmosphere of work, material, and structural change directly palpable.
