Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

Monotonous, compacted, gray. This is how one imagines the East Berlin district where the first large concrete housing estate of the GDR was built. But in the meantime, much more is mixed up in Lichtenberg: wide streets, protected landscaped areas, neighborhoods of old buildings, social housing, Stasi administration complexes, homes and sprawling industrial areas characterize the district. It is home to older residents who can still tell stories of former

It is also home to large Russian and Vietnamese communities, as well as newcomers who want to raise their children here and cannot find affordable rental space elsewhere. Decades of urban planning, social and political developments converge in a peculiar way in this place. Lichtenberg embodies the juxtaposition of today’s urban society. How do the buildings influence the way people live together in the city? What makes a good place to live? Moved by questions like these, Swiss- born photographer Kevin Fuchs embarks on a photographic search for clues in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg, where he moved with his family in 2017.
His new home is densely populated, becoming more crowded, more diverse, yet remains opaque to him. Nearly 300,000 people live in an area that is growing fast and constantly changing, but where life takes place primarily in private. With his camera, Fuchs takes a different look at each street corner, each person. Taking pictures creates the calmness missing in everyday life, while Fuchs tries to decipher the oppressive city views. He documents his immediate surroundings, thus uncovering his personal Lichtenberg and juxtaposing landscapes and portraits, which portray the character of local coexistence.

Kevin Fuchs (*1983 in Zug, CH) lives and works in Berlin. He studied journalism and communication in Zurich and photography at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin until 2014. His works have been published by DUMMY, Fluter, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Spex, DIE ZEIT and exhibited in the Passerelle centre d’art contemporain, Brest and Brandenburgisches Landesmuseum für moderne Kunst (selection).
