Im Rahmen des Fotografie-Festivals der StädteRegion Aachen

Stefan Draschan (*1979) is a master of the visual symbiosis between people and art. In his fascinating photographs, he combines people with masterpieces from European museums, whose clothing, gestures or hairstyles harmonise in an astonishing way. With his ‘People Matching Artworks’ series, which has become internationally recognised on social networks, he discovers matching pairs of images, allowing the past and present to merge, thereby completely redefining what it means to see and be seen. Irony always plays an important role in his photographs. Draschan emphasises that pure chance is his muse, which plays to him in the fleeting moment. His sense for the decisive moment - the moment décisif, an expression coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson - makes his photographs as unique as the average time he has to take a picture: 11 seconds.

The exhibition is part of the photography festival of the StädteRegion Aachen.

The photography festival

From 24 August to 21 September 2025, various exhibitions, talks, workshops and events on the subject of photography will take place throughout the region for four weeks. Around 100 internationally and regionally renowned photographers will be on show at 16 exhibition venues in Monschau, Aachen, Eschweiler and Maastricht, with a total of 800 works.
For the first time, museums were also able to take part, which is why the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum is delighted to be one of the exhibition venues!

The exhibition on Stefan Draschan will be on display in the museum's fireplace room after the festival until 9 November.
