Under the title “Invisible Lines – Reflexionen der Gegenwart” 28 photographers from the Berlin Regional Group of the Female Photoclub explore the invisible boundaries of our society. In a time of growing conflicts and divisions, the photographs illuminate the subtle lines between closeness and distance, familiarity and otherness, community and isolation. The shown works address socio-critical topics, such as the transformation of life, and delve into themes like origin, alternative parenting, and old-age poverty. They depict the handling of personal identity and the challenges faced by marginalized groups. Regional focuses, ranging from successful women in Saxony to growing up in a Spanish enclave in Morocco, highlight the diversity and complexity of the themes. Through a non-male gaze, societal barriers and the possibilities of overcoming them are made visible. “Invisible Lines” establishes a dialogue between individual perspectives and larger social structures, calling for reflection on the fractures of our time and encouraging ways to overcome them.

The Female Photoclub was initiated in 2017 and has been a registered association since 2020 for professional photographers. Currently, the club has around 500 members who are organized in nine cities and regions across Germany. The association’s goals are to increase the visibility of photographers, advocate for greater equality in the industry, and raise awareness of issues such as pay inequality and lack of representation.
