Once a year, heavy metal fans from all over the world gather at the festival in Wacken, North Germany. Maybe this time they will see a few familiar faces in the Metalheads exhibition at the Art Tent. For this project, Joerg Brueggemann photographed metal fans around the globe. Of course also in Wacken.

OSTKREUZ and the theatre are linked by a long history. Our founding members celebrated in GDR times with Heiner Mueller, Sibylle Bergemann accompanied the Ramba Ramba ensemble for years and with the actors portraits in our archive we could fill a couple of exhibits.
Julian Roeder and Heinrich Voelkel continue this tradition and take photos for the State Theatre in Mainz. The play time book with their pictures hast just won the renowned red dot award.
