Dieter Nuhr is widely known to the general public primarily as a multiple award-winning cabaret artist and satirist. However, in recent years, his work as a painter and photographer has increasingly come into the public eye. As a multimedia artist, he has created an impressive body of work as a visual artist over many years, which is gradually emerging from the shadow of his performance career. His works have been exhibited in the Ruhr region and worldwide in museums including Vienna, Rome, Hagen, Venice, Beijing, Shanghai, and Dakar.

In the solo exhibition Dieter Nuhr – Elsewhere is Everywhere at the Bavarian National Museum, supported by the Essen-based Brost Foundation and coordinated by the Association for Art in Public, he predominantly presents large-format photographic works, paintings, and drawings from his most recent series. The Ruhr region, one of the largest industrial areas in Europe, where Nuhr was born and raised, plays a central role. In Munich, these motifs enter into a fascinating dialogue with impressions from some of the most remote regions of the world, which Nuhr tirelessly explores and captures with his camera during his travels.
