Martin Meffert’s new photo exhibition invites you to take a unique look at urban life in two of the world’s most fascinating metropolises.
Martin Meffert, who has been living and studying in Leipzig since 2018, discovered his passion for photography in the same year. In addition to his digital work, he has developed a special preference for film photography with analog cameras in recent years. This exhibition shows works taken during two trips: in October 2023 in New York City (floor 1) and in October 2024 in Tokyo (floor 2).
The photographs on display capture isolated yet significant moments of people in their urban environment. Each moment tells a story of the interplay between people and their surroundings and allows us to observe the essence of these cities almost microscopically. The images invite us to reflect on the relationship between human and city and to embark on a journey through the substance of two cultural centers.
The exhibition can be seen until the end of March 2025 in the corridors on the first and the second floor of the Studentenwerk Leipzig (Goethestr. 6).
