Hanover, Germany. From March 21 to May 31, 2026, the show “My World of Music” invites visitors to experience an extraordinary photographic journey through decades of international music history at the Peppermint Park Studios in the Peppermint Pavilion on the Expo grounds in Hanover. The exhibition is a co-production by photographer Marc Theis, artist Tobias Schreiber and Wolfgang Sick, CEO of the Peppermint Park Studios.
Marc Theis has been documenting international artists for many years, capturing the moments when music, emotion, and stage energy converge. His photographs go beyond live concert documentation, revealing both the personalities of the artists and the unique atmosphere surrounding the performances.
Around 70 selected photographs provide multiple perspectives on the world of music. Large-format black-and-white portraits of international artists are displayed alongside striking concert photographs that capture iconic live moments.
A special series features international musicians such as Snoop Dogg, Paul van Dyk, Ronan Keating, and Destiny’s Child, photographed with their eyes closed. This artistic concept creates an unusual tension, presenting a moment of introspection, as if the artists are listening to the music within themselves, rather than engaging with the viewer directly.
The exhibition also includes numerous live concert photographs of artists such as Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Die Toten Hosen, Snoop Dogg, Ronan Keating, and Destiny’s Child. The works are produced as high-quality giclée prints on Hahnemühle fine art paper, known for exceptional color brilliance and detail.
Another focus is the long-standing collaboration between Marc Theis and the Scorpions. Over more than two decades, the photographer has repeatedly documented the legendary German rock band in various settings. These photographs are presented in the recording room of the Peppermint Park Studios as large-format giclée prints on premium cotton canvas.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is a work of extraordinary scale: “PIXEL OF ROCK,” the largest concert photo mosaic in the world. The monumental artwork measures 20 meters wide and 5 meters high, covering a total surface of 100 square meters. Approximately 150,000 image tiles form the mosaic, composed of over 1,000 previously unpublished live photographs of the Scorpions, captured by Marc Theis over many years. The complex mosaic structure was calculated using a supercomputer, by artist Tobias Schreiber who created the record breaking mosaic and realized the technical implementation. Even in production, the project pushes the limits of currently achievable technical possibilities, including file size, resolution, and print dimensions.
With “My World of Music,” Marc Theis and the Peppermint Park Studios present an exhibition that brings together music history, photography, and modern image production in an exceptional way.
