Exhibition 'Eddo Hartmann - The Sacrifice Zone' in Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography
This autumn/winter Huis Marseille, Museum of Photography will be showing photographer Eddo Hartmann’s latest multimedia project, The Sacrifice Zone. It marks the fourth time that Huis Marseille is to show Hartmann’s work. In 2013 his impressive series Here lives my home was part of the exhibition The rediscovery of the world. This was followed in 2015 and 2017/18 by the two parts of his project Setting The Stage | North Korea, about daily life in the North Korean capital Pyongyang. The 2017/18 exhibition was one of the best-attended exhibitions in the history of the museum.
For his latest project Eddo Hartmann visited the inhospitable steppe of Kazakhstan. Until a few years ago this country was a blind spot on the world map for the general public. Recently this has changed with the disastrous war in Ukraine and the redevelopment of the famed Silk Road between China and Western Russia, which have raised tensions in the region.
