Background and exhibition ‘Brokdorf bleibt’ (Brokdorf remains)

In October 2020, a student project group raised the question of how to adequately accompany such an important moment. This was a challenge that around 60 students took on over the course of a year: This was followed by intensive research on the history of the power plant, the technology and the energy transition, many interviews with employees, critics and residents of the power plant and several visits to the region and the plant itself. The search for suitable contributions was shaped by the special starting situation and the handling of the controversial background. The aim was to design visual forms of communication that do justice to the complex situation and open up new perspectives beyond reflexive self-assurances. Students from the degree programmes Photography + New Media, Film & Motion Design, Illustration, Communication Design and Game Design took part.
