André Lützen's Living Climate: A Tale of Three Cities, an exhibition of photographs opens on Wednesday, 17 January 2018, at URU Art Harbour, Kochangadi, Kochi and will remain on view until Wednesday, 28 February 2018. The exhibition is conducted with the support of Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan.
 
The exhibition focusses on three cities with very different weather conditions: Kochi in Southern India, Arkhangelsk in North-West Russia and Khartoum in Sudan.
 
In Living Climate: A Tale of Three Cities André Lützen approaches the question of how climate influences people and their ways of living. He has documented how climate circumstances define living situations and effect a very diverse interplay between private and public. The photographs were taken between 2014 and 2017.
