The exhibition is dedicated to the often overlooked that disappears behind the big picture in everyday life.
The official opening of the "En Détail" photo competition took place on November 26, 2025 - and attracted numerous interested photo enthusiasts. The exhibition is entirely dedicated to the often overlooked, the small, the detail that tends to disappear behind the big picture in everyday life.
The official introduction was provided by Prof. Matthias Fichna, who got visitors in the mood for the exhibition with an impressive speech. He emphasized the importance of sharpening one's own eye and consciously engaging with subtleties that we miss in everyday life.
Chancellor Matthias Duscha was present as a representative of the university management. In his welcoming address, he also emphasized that it is often the little things that we overlook because our attention is focused on the big picture.
The evening was accompanied musically by the outstanding saxophone skills of Friedrich Wodarczack, who created a special atmosphere with his warm, clear sounds.
Silvio Thamm then took over the presentation of the award-winning works. He read out the laudatory speech for each award-winning painting with great expressiveness. Together with Elisa Schmidt (Gutachten Lausitz), he announced the winners and presented the prizes.
The moment many had been waiting for: the award ceremony.
