"The photo artist Bob Jones deals with the diverse interrelations of identity, body and societal role. The exhibition 'Beyond me' draws from works between 2016 and today, which, on the one hand, relate to the artist's dealing with their own body and on the other hand, reflect on the impact of societal norms. Traditional ways of (women*) depictions are deconstructed and met with irony in order to develop new perspectives on the question of one's position within society."

Exhibition TRANSITIONS: Protest Cultures and Digital Worlds in Transition
"Currently, many phenomena of transition are emerging in society: [...]
What role can artistic photography play in these different processes of change? What kind of representation does it pursue? Does it actively participate and take a stand or does it remain a distanced observer? Does it transform the means of fast-moving digital communication or the process of change itself into components of the artistic work?"
