The many faces of post-industrial 'anti-city' Heerlen in a store window exhibition

Dean Kisters (b. 1996) photographs mostly at night in the streets of Heerlen. In the twilight zone between sleeping and waking, he shows us the many faces of the post-industrial 'anti-city', both aboveground and underground. He captures reality as a personal observation with rakish and revealing gaze. At the same time, the coarse graininess and noise in his images evokes a cinematic and dreamlike atmosphere. In SCHUNCK's showcase, Kisters displays his new photo series UUME TUUT in monumental format.

Young talent in SCHUNCK Museum

SCHUNCK Museum's programme line offers - among other things - a focus on talent development. Telling stories from the region is also an important part of SCHUNCK Museum's programme. Kisters, as a young artist in Heerlen, manages to draw the story of the city of Heerlen in UUME TUUT in his own unique way.
