The 38th European Media Art Festival, Osnabrück. Curated by Inga Seidler, the EMAF 2025 exhibition, which will be on show at Kunsthalle Osnabrück, is dedicated to the festival theme Witnessing Witnessing, exploring testimony as an active and performative practice that goes beyond the mere documentation of events. The assembled international artists use digital media, video, VR, 3D scans, sculpture, forensic methods, and re-enactment to explore the moral, political, and emotional aspects of witnessing. Their installations question the authenticity and truth of media productions as well as the power relations involved. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to make connections and critically engage with the information presented. Works by Agil Abdullayev, Alisa Berger, Karolina Breguła, Doplgenger (Isidora Ilić and Boško Prostran), Hannah Hallermann, Flo Kasearu, Gabriela Löffel, and Benedikt Terwiel are on display.

The exhibition “Witnessing Witnessing,” curated by Inga Seidler, can be visited at the Kunsthalle Osnabrück until 25 May during the museum’s regular opening hours. Guided tours take place every Sunday at 4 pm and can also be booked at presse@emaf.de.
