Felix Hoffmann

Head Curator at C/O Berlin

"You can only learn photography if you train yourself in seeing and this can be done through history. So you have to deal with existing visual strategies"

Felix Hoffmann is an art historian and cultural theorist, and artistic director of Foto Arsenal Wien, an institute for photography and lens based media, which was founded by the city of Vienna and will be opened in 2024. Between 2005 and 2022 he was program director of the C/O Berlin Foundation and responsible for exhibitions, programs and strategy. As he did for C/O Berlin he tries to invent with passion and curiosity new areas and places for photography and lens based media following the idea that still and moving images are today the dominating medium in our world.

He was the co-initiator of C/O Digital and C/O Berlin’s Talents program for young photographers and art critics, and has acted as curator for numerous international exhibitions including Nan Goldin (2009), Robert Mapplethorpe, Peter Lindbergh (2011), Gordon Parks (2014), Araki (2018), and group shows like The Uncanny Familiar - Images of Terror (2011), The Last Image.

Christiane Stahl

Director of the Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation

Christiane Stahl was born in Mannheim in 1963. She studied Art History at the École du Louvre in Paris and finished at FU Berlin with a PhD on photographer and documentary film-maker Alfred Ehrhardt for which she received the Erich-Stenger-Preis from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie DGPh.

She worked for the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn in 1992/93, worked from 1997 to 2001 for the Galerie Karsten Greve in Cologne, Paris and Mailand, codirected the festival “islandbilder” in Cologne in 2005, curated in 2010 “Mikrofotografie – Schönheit jenseits des Sichtbaren” at Museum für Fotografie Berlin and cocurated in 2011 “Frontiers of Another Nature.

In 2011 to 2012 she taught History and Theory of Photography to final year students at the Neue Schule für Fotografie, where since then she regularly conducts workshops and seminars, giving students an insight into museum and gallery exhibition curating. She likes to help students to reduce the gap between ideas and realisation, and to better understand the rules of the art market. Christiane Stahl aims to transmit her personal philosophy through teaching, namely that the most important thing in one’s career, just as in one’s life, is to follow one’s passion, calling, strengths, and instinct.

Jan von Holleben

Commercial Photographer and Artist

"We will never have the 80s again in photography"

Born in 1977 and brought up in the southern German countryside, Jan von Holleben lived most of his youth in an alternative commune and identifies a strong connection between the development of his photographic work and the influence of his parents, a cinematographer and child therapist. At the age of thirteen, he followed his father’s photographic career by picking up a camera and experimenting with all sorts of magical tricks, developing his photographic imagination and skills with friends and family and later honing his technique in commercial settings.

After pursuing studies in teaching children with disabilities at the Pädagogische Hochschule in Freiburg, he moved to London. Taught by David Campany and Jason Evans a.o., he earned a degree in the Theory and History of Photography at Surrey Institute of Art and Design, and became submerged within the London photographic scene, where he worked as picture editor, art director, and photographic director. He quickly set up two photographic collectives, Young Photographers United and photodebut, followed more recently by the Photographer’s Office and the publishing house Tarzipan. His body of photographic work focusing on the homo ludens – the man who learns through play – is itself built from a playful integration of pedagogical theory with his own personal experiences of play and memories of childhood.

Jan von Holleben’s work has been exhibited internationally and published widely throughout the world.

His over 25 original science and art books for children and adults by publishers as Little Steidl, Thames & Hudson, Beltz, Thienemann-Esslinger, Little Gestalten, etc. are available in 17 languages.
