Discover "here&now," the debut photobook by Sahin Dellemann that is dedicated to freedom, individuality, and the humanist spirit of liberalism.
In an era of growing intolerance and global crises, the Berlin-based photographer and filmmaker deliberately uses his work to make a statement for tolerance, diversity, and the courage to be different.
“I may not be able to change the whole world, but I can contribute my part,” says the artist. “‘here&now’ is my love letter to liberalism, to a free world – and of course to the incredible people who brought this project to life with me.”
Join us for a vernissage at KitKat Club Berlin on August 9, 2025, where we will launch a captivating book and a stunning collection of photographs with multimedia presentation, music and a runway show that presents part of the Fine Art Prints on textile.
For those who prefer to experience the works in a quieter setting, a solo exhibition will be held from August 12–19, 2025, at Gaudystr. 20, Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.
Limited-edition fine art prints will also be available through the renowned online gallery Saatchi Art.
here&now: Glam Photorealism meets Existential Rebellion in Sahin Dellemann's debut
Influenced by existentialist writers such as Charles Bukowski and Hubert Selby Jr., this visually conceptualized book tells the story of a group of friends embracing life without compromise in a rapidly changing world: in the here and now.
here&now highlights what is at stake amid growing intolerance and global crises - freedom, difference, and dignity.
Sahin gravitates toward individuals who challenge convention—those who are bold, unconventional, and unapologetically unique. He is drawn to outsiders, rebels, and voices that refuse to blend in.
His work is deeply influenced by the dramatic tension and emotional depth found in the paintings of Caravaggio, Goya, and Nicolas Régnier. Their mastery of chiaroscuro—light and shadow in stark contrast—resonates powerfully in Sahin’s photography.
His photography embodies elegance and visual honesty. He calls it Glam Photorealism, a new genre created from the tension between beauty and truth, offering a unique perspective on contemporary life.
The journey begins with a vernissage at KitKat Berlin on August 9, 2025, followed a public exhibition at Gaudystr. 20. Join us to experience this captivating blend of beauty and authenticity.
