Where is home?

The German Leica photographer’s exhibition Where is Home? I am Here opens at the Aufbau Haus in Berlin on February 19, 2026.
Everyone carries within them a sense of home, however much it may shift or fade. There is always a beginning, a trace, a place we were born into, though it is uncertain if it will hold us over time. Where, therefore, is home? This is a prevailing question on Felix Vollmann’s mind. 

“Sometimes it’s a memory. Sometimes a love letter. Sometimes it’s the pause between breaths, when I try to feel where I stand,” the Leica photographer explains. “My photography lives in that space. It does not begin with answers, or even a clear intention. It starts instinctively – from memory, from intuition, from investigating my inner world. I first and foremost photograph from the heart. Understanding comes later. Meaning slowly unfolds. The images mature. They only reveal themselves afterwards – when I’m ready to see what I’ve been holding inside all along. For me, home was not always a safe place. It was confusing – warm and cold, loving and damaging, bitter and sweet, broken and healed, all at the same time.” 

After the opening reception on February 19 (starting at 7 p.m), the showcase will be on display until May 2026. The exhibition is accompanied by a 90-page photo book of the same title, featuring 45 photographs.
