(Re-)stories – (Re)visions: Painting and Photography in Dialogue
The Torhaus Gallery Göttingen will show from August 22 to September 20, 2026, for the first time the joint exhibition of Norbert Schmidt-Mispagel and Karsten Knigge. The project combines painting, collage, and photography into a quiet, multifaceted examination of traces, time, and perception. Free entry, open Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m. ([kulturis.online](https://www.kulturis.online/de/kalender/67068-ge-schichten-schichtungen?utm_source=openai))
Layers that Unveil Stories
Norbert Schmidt-Mispagel develops his works from impressions of weathered advertising walls, expanded by references to cave painting and graffiti. This creates a visual language in which multiple layers, materials, and signs converge on a picture carrier and open new narrative spaces. The exhibition makes visible how painting functions as a search for traces. ([kulturis.online](https://www.kulturis.online/de/kalender/67068-ge-schichten-schichtungen))
Photography as Subtle Archaeology of the Everyday
Karsten Knigge shows photographs of color traces on asphalt, faded road markings, and found objects like abandoned gloves. His images focus on the seemingly trivial and lend a poetic depth to urban everyday life. The result is a concentrated aesthetic experience between documentation and observation.

A Place with Atmosphere
The Torhaus Gallery at the old city cemetery is a fixed entity in the Göttingen cultural scene. The exhibition takes place on-site at Kasseler Landstraße 1; the rooms are designed for a quiet tour through image, light, and material. This concentration enhances the art experience and the effect of the curation. ([kulturis.online](https://www.kulturis.online/de/orte/torhaus-galerie-goettingen))
Conclusion: This exhibition connects two artistic handwritings into a clever, sensual dialogue about traces of time and image spaces. Anyone wishing to encounter painting and photography with an open eye should definitely visit the Torhaus Gallery live.
