For the exhibition “Afterimage Nine,” gr_und space brings together seven photographers who explore photography as a documentary form of personal storytelling.

The works range from underground burlesque to sacrifice sites in Lapland, architectural heritage, and collective memory.

They explore human-made relationships with animals and interpersonal bonds.

Following the “Neun” exhibition at the Kunstquartier Bethanien in April 2026, the group returns for a second edition, presenting their works in a new light.

The exhibition at the Gr_und Galerie in Berlin will be accompanied by a public program featuring DJ sets, workshops, and group gatherings to extend the conversation beyond the gallery context.

The projects were created as part of a one-year seminar at the Ostkreuz School of Photography, with Mustafah Abdulaziz serving as mentor.
