What is UNSEEN?

UNSEEN is where running and art converge, shining new light on the interlacing stories of marathoners and photographers on race day.

It’s an exploration of the runner as artist and, often, vice versa.

Preparation. Execution. Pain. Euphoria.

The drama of crossing the finish line and getting the perfect shot are often one and the same.

To showcase these triumphs, we collected deep cuts from the hard drives of photographers who’ve shot the Berlin Marathon over the past decade.

Our annual exhibition and scented magazine bring these visual stories to life on race weekend and in print.

Magazine

UNSEEN is a four-day photo exhibition showcased at the 2023 Berlin Marathon.

For the inaugural event, 25 photographers were invited to share their visual stories in a vibrant gallery on Torstraße, curbside to all the race-day action.

In collaboration with Long Distance we created a 60 page, offset-printed magazine for all those who couldn’t be there in person — an archive of the effervescence.
