THE 5TH FOTOFESTIVAL CROSSES MEDIA BORDERSPRESENTATION OF SELECTED DIALOGUE ARTISTSWe are delighted that, in addition to the photographers we've already introduced, some of the dialogue artists will be in attendance at the opening of the 5th Fotofestival Mannheim_Ludwigshafen_Heidelberg on 13 September 2013 at 7 p.m. at Wilhelm-Hack-Museum. Veronika Veit
Spectators will be confronted with a space-filling sculpture by Veronica Veit right in the middle of the
show No Place like Home / Zuhause. In this sculpture the installation artist tackles, in a three-
dimensional manner, the topic of Home. The work, reminiscent of a barricade of wagons, comprising
cupboards, cupboard doors, drawers and objects, bears the title Zufall und Gelegenheit - (Chance and Opportunity) - and accentuates, in its unique way, essential aspects of the private place of retreat.
