Photography as Time Travel at the Schaezlerpalais
The guided tour through Everything is Art – Artist Portraits by Daniel Biskup opens the view for a photographic body of work in which portraiture, contemporary history, and the art scene intertwine in impressive ways. At the Schaezlerpalais, the photographer living in Augsburg and Berlin showcases his artist portraits for the first time as an independent focus; the exhibition runs from 11.07. to 11.10.2026.

Between Studio, Street, and Art History
Daniel Biskup is regarded as one of Germany's most renowned contemporary photographers. His documentary photography focuses on historical upheavals, political landscapes, and people in their specific living environments. The Kunsthalle Göppingen describes his approach as unadulterated and empathetic; he has also portrayed significant figures such as Anselm Kiefer, Katharina Sieverding, Karl Lagerfeld, and Claudia Schiffer.

The selection on display in Augsburg ranges from early photographs from 1989 to later encounters with international artists. In the magazine of the art collections, it becomes evident how Biskup captures not just faces, but entire atmospheres: the image becomes an encounter, the gaze a work reflection, and the portrait a cultural narrative. He also speaks there about how artworks in his portraits guide the viewer and how the light mood itself becomes a motif.

The Schaezlerpalais as a Suitable Resonance Space
The Schaezlerpalais is not only a magnificent Rococo ensemble but also a house with a deep collection: the German Baroque Gallery, the Graphic Collection, and the famous Rococo festival hall characterize the location. Here, Biskup's artist portraits unveil their special effect, as historical architecture, curatorial museology, and contemporary photography sharpen each other.

The tour focuses on artists from Augsburg such as Peter Lochmüller, Lisa Junghans, and Martin Eder, as well as names like Ai Weiwei, Gilbert & George, and Georg Baselitz. This creates a dense narrative about networks, styles, and artistic self-presentation. The tour on 03.10.2026 begins at 14:00; according to the event page, no registration is required and only the regular admission fees apply.
