Aesthetica’s selection of exhibitions to see this weekend investigates public and private worlds through photography – capturing life across Africa, Asia and Europe whilst examining global change.

Model Arbus Goldin, Westlicht, Vienna

Through images by Lisette Model, Diane Arbus and Nan Goldin, Westlicht’s exhibition draws a diverse portrait of American society. Looking to those living on the outskirts of mainstream society, it offers vibrant and meaningful dialogues. Until 24 March

Recent Histories, Huis Marseille, Paris

Huis Marseille positions work by emerging African photographers alongside images by renowned figures such as David Goldblatt (1930–2018). Offering a range of perspectives, the show examines notions of identity, migration and the impact of colonialism. From 8 December

Bauhaus and the Photograph, NRW Forum, Düsseldorf

Demonstrating how the Bauhaus continues to further the development of photography in the digital age, this exhibition combines work by 20th century pioneers with contemporary practitioners such as Thomas Ruff, Viviane Sassen and Wolfgang Tillmans. Until 10 March.

Nobuyoshi Araki: Impossible Love, C / O Berlin

Contrasting depictions of public and private experiences in Tokyo from 1969-1973, Araki’s series of image pairs is at once intimate and subjective, offering new perspectives on the body,  sexuality and the nature of the image.  From 8 December.

Peter Bialobrzeski: The City / Urban Spaces, Foto Forum, Bolzano

German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski surveys the globalised metropolis, drawing attention to expansive nature of built environments in Asia and Europe. Taken between 2007 and 2011, the works illustrate an accelerated rate of change. Until 19 January.
