At the Bar with Hannibal Tarkan Daldaban / “Von Putzlicht zu Putzlicht – Atmo reads” with Dr. Atmo

09.05.2026, 16:00

For decades, Hannibal Tarkan Daldaban has been an internationally recognised promoter and DJ, and a key figure in Frankfurt’s club and event culture. Despite his international career, he has chosen to remain based in the Rhine-Main region, where he has realised many of his projects. At the core of his work is the encounter between people—for which he continually creates new spaces and situations.

As part of the exhibition Hidden History, a bar counter in the foyer of the Frankfurter Kunstverein becomes a central meeting point. Through his personal presence, Daldaban activates the exhibition space and invites visitors to engage with stories of the events, personalities and places that shaped Frankfurt’s subcultural scenes of the 1990s and 2000s.

On 9 May, Dr. Atmo reads from his autobiography Von Putzlicht zu Putzlicht. As a defining figure of Frankfurt’s techno scene of the 1990s, he reflects on personal experiences  shaped by a drive towards new beginnings, moments of ecstasy, and the contradictions of that era.

Admission: €5, including entry to the exhibition. No registration is required.

Please note that the event will take place in German.
