International Instant Art Expo Bonn | May 29th - 31st 2026

The 7th edition of the international instant art exhibition at The Stage Gallery

Experience the magic of the moment – at the “X roid – Int’l Instant Art Expo” in Bonn!

Immerse yourself in an exhibition that celebrates the moment: raw, immediate and unique. At The Stage Gallery, an extraordinary collection of over 150 instant photographs awaits you – captured on Polaroid and Fuji Instax film by 43 artists from 11 countries, including Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, the USA and Hong Kong.

“X roid” is not just an exhibition – it is an experience. The only one of its kind in Germany, it brings together international perspectives and allows you to experience the diversity of instant photography up close. Many of the artists will be there in person – take the opportunity to meet them and discover the stories behind their works.

Look forward to intense snapshots, poetic installations and bold experiments – every image unique, every moment genuine.

In collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Cologne.

Come along, be inspired and celebrate the beauty of the fleeting moment with us. We can’t wait to see you there!
