International photo artists from Karlsruhe:
Hi, I'm Samu. Better behind the camera than in front of it. Laughs at least as much as his clients during shoots and can recite entire episodes of Scrubs by heart. Samu prefers to photograph the things that fascinate him: Lifestyle. People. Emotions. After training in one of Germany's leading advertising studios and 8 years of self-employment, he knows what photography is all about: feeling the interpersonal aspects, capturing the details and understanding the big picture.
Tom Kohler's photography not only depicts the visible, but makes it visible. "We only see when we open our eyes". His focus is on people, their emotions, moments that Tom Kohler captures like no other. He himself says "my pictures have their own visual language, are cinematic and more spatial. My strengths are pictures taken at the right time, which capture unique moments and show the very individual character of people in an obvious and spontaneous way". In other words, "strong pictures" - that tell a story, that are not only liked but also touching. Pictures that stay in your memory. His pictures have been presented in various exhibitions under the Puccini title "Visi d'arte, visi d'amore - Nur der Schönheit weihe ich mein Leben - I dedicate my life to beauty only". This twice at Art Karlsruhe, in the old stock exchange in Paris, in theaters (Staatstheater, Kammertheater) and museums / Weisser Kubus - Pemakultur-Weissenstadt. Since 2020, Tom Kohler has expanded his portfolio with filmmaker Marc Sporys. This led to the founding of a creative film production and social media consultancy and, since 2021, to the expansion with professional, unique drone recordings. The German Journalists' Association of Baden-Württemberg wrote the following about the 2021 winning photo entitled "Von Oben sieht man Unten": "We particularly liked the dynamic, euphoric mood of your photo." Tom Kohler is based in Hamburg and Karlsruhe and works mostly in Germany, France and Portugal. He has had photo shoots all over Europe, the USA, Canada, Central America and Iceland for magazines, various shipping companies, the travel industry, tourism associations, countries and regions.
Horst Kistner, born in Würzburg in 1969, trained as a photographer at the Lette-Verein vocational school in Berlin, which was founded in 1866. He then worked for 22 years as a food and advertising photographer for publishers such as GU, Bertelsmann and Time Life in London. In 2010, he ended his career as a contract photographer and devoted himself to his passions. Kistner is a photographic artist with a very high international reputation. His scene photography is exceptional. He has won 6 top-class prizes in recent years, the last one a few weeks ago in New York. Warmer than the work of Edward Hopper, more hopeful than that of Gregory Crewdson. They are melancholy interiors in cinematic light with the aura of a still life, bursting with symbolic power and enigma. Kistner's sense of composition, trained in classical painting, and the lighting make the photographs look like paintings.
Various exhibitions since 1993 in USA, France, Germany.
The viewer of Naumann's pictures is taken on a mysterious journey to the origins of light painting: into a world full of emotional movement and sensual abstraction. Tom Naumann transfers his imaginative, atmospherically dense spatial creations into a seemingly brief moment, into a two-dimensional pictorial language. In this way, time is compressed and becomes an independent expression in the picture. Technically, Naumann dispenses with the possibilities of digital image composition. His works are created through long exposure times and the use of blurring or light-reducing lenses.
Ralf J. Diemb
The photo artist RALF J. DIEMB, founding member of the Ateliergemeinschaft and the Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe, shows pictures taken in India, Turkey and other European cities and towns. Since 2007, Diemb has dedicated himself to the genre of street photography. As a photographer, he has since focused on simple life on the street, cultural life and visible working conditions. With his camera, he succeeds in taking snapshots that capture situations and rituals that are barely perceptible behind the façade. These are pictures of ordinary people with faces scarred by life, traders and craftsmen with the expression and charm of beauty and ugliness, joy and sadness. Pictures that tell stories and yet allow the viewer to make their own interpretations.

Kunstrauschen Karlsruhe – The Long Night of Project Spaces
Kunstrauschen is an inspiring invitation to discover the hidden corners of Karlsruhe's art scene and take a fascinating journey into the world of art.
The city's independent project spaces and offspaces invite visitors interested in art to explore the city and the local art scene away from established galleries after the exhibition program. Karlsruhe has an incredible wealth of project spaces and offspaces that have been an important part of the city's cultural life for decades. Whether studios or rooms in private apartments, backyards or large halls - art takes place in every conceivable corner of Karlsruhe. These spaces, often run by artists, are places of self-determined artistic activity and experimentation that offer a unique insight into the work of contemporary Karlsruhe artists.
Parallel to art KARLSRUHE, around 15 of these project spaces will open their doors simultaneously for one evening for the first time this year, offering the opportunity to discover the sometimes hidden spaces in a relaxed atmosphere and get to know the artists personally.
The program is just as diverse as the various project spaces. Visitors can expect vernissages of artistic positions ranging from expansive installations in mold to sculptural explorations with delicate glass blowing in Schauraum B9, video works in dialog with drawings in the Rochade project space to musical and media art experiments in CIRCUS 3000 or even an art discounter in ßpace. Each project space designs its own evening program, providing a kaleidoscopic insight into the contemporary art landscape in Karlsruhe, which is only available on this evening.
Be part of this special art experience when Kunstrauschen conquers Karlsruhe! Open your eyes to new perspectives and don't miss the chance to explore Karlsruhe's vibrant art scene. The entire event can be visited free of charge and without prior registration. To make it easier for visitors to art KARLSRUHE to visit the project spaces, the exhibition shuttle will stop at various destinations in the city on the evening of February 23.
The participating project spaces are: Arthouse Atelier Karlsruhe, Atelierhaus Alter Schlachthof (including the group MuDiKu, Schrifthof e.V. and SOLOS), CIRCUS 3000, CU, die Anstoß e.V., Die Neue Fledermaus, Hinterhofstudios Irma Chacall, Luis Leu, mold-Projektraum, Nordbecken, Projektraum Rochade, Schauraum B9, Showroom Schmitt, V12, wieoftnoch.
Kunstrauschen is an event of the participating project spaces and offspaces, in cooperation with the Kulturamt Karlsruhe, UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe and art KARLSRUHE.
