What We’ve Been Up To: People

What We’ve Been Up To: People showcases more than 60 photographs of people from the DAM’s collection that have not been exhibited in our galleries before.

The exhibition features a rich variety of portraits, self-portraits, and candid scenes that touch on the joys and challenges of everyday life as well as personal relationships, solitude, and the way people see themselves and each other. Works by acclaimed artists hang side-by-side with photographs by unknown and emerging artists active between the 1890s and the present day.

Individually, the pictures focus on the range of emotions and experiences that are part of life. Taken together, these photographs invite us to consider, despite our differences, all of the hopes, needs, fears, and joys that people hold in common.
