Into the Unseen. The Walther Collection
With a loan from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection

The Mercedes-Benz Art Collection is supporting the exhibition ‘Into the Unseen’ with a loan from its collection.
About the exhibition: The Walther Collection is considered one of the world’s most renowned collections of global photography. ‘Into the Unseen’ marks the final major presentation of the collection in Europe before 6,500 works are gifted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The exhibition unfolds a poetics of the unseen through artistic works and vernacular photographs that focus on spirituality, trauma, transformation, and multisensory perception. … Showcasing work that activates the multiple sensory registers of photography, ‘Into the Unseen’ invites us to embrace the audible, tactile, and affective registers of photography by exploring what it would mean to understand photography as a medium that stimulates the full array of our senses – from the haptic (touch) to the sonic (sound) to the olfactory (smell) and the gustatory (taste)?
