    Ausstellung: 7.01. – 30.03.2014

    Kulturen sind einem stetigen Wandel unterworfen. In ihnen fließen freiwillige oder erzwungene Übernahmen, Aneignungen und Modifikationen von Denkfiguren, Religionen, Bildformen und kulturellen Strategien zusammen. Das Einwanderungsland Brasilien, das durch die europäische Kolonisation, aber ebenso stark durch die gewaltvolle Migration von afrikanischen Sklaven und durch die indigene Bevölkerung geprägt ist, bietet für die Untersuchung von „Kulturtransfers“ ein reiches Beispiel.

    « Truths, Facts, Fictions, Lies. »

    We seek, produce, use, and consume all kind of images in our everyday. Whether in the private or the public sphere, we need them for sharing and obtaining details regarding experiences, news, and events. They serve to illustrate ideas that in turn endorse or contest other ideas. With these images, through storytelling, we shape public opinion  and enjoy a shared sense of what is true, what is real. The way we understand our reality then is through these fragmented stories that we tell ourselves. Some of them may be accepted as truths, some others understood as mere myths, legends, hoaxes, or lies. It is all about storytelling. (mehr …)

    Sarah Moon | About Colour

    Exhibition: 20.02. – 05.04.2014
    Michael Hoppen Gallery
    3 Jubilee Place, London, SW3 3TD

    It is difficult to summarise Sarah Moon’s fantastical photography – almost thirty years of image making has made Sarah Moon a legend in her own lifetime. Well known for her personalised commercial and editorial work since the early 1970s, Moon has continued to investigate a dream world of her own invention, without repetition or compromise. For more than thirty-five years, Moon’s heart-stopping fashion images have bucked every so-called commercial trend, from the need to establish eye contact – it is only rarely there – to the belief that the most alluring fashion photograph must be glossy, even hyper-real.

    About Colour’ brings together new, old and unseen works, photographed exclusively in colour. (mehr …)

    Juliane Eirich kannte Japan schon von früheren Besuchen, als sie im Sommer 2011 zurückkehrte, um hier zu arbeiten. Aber dieses Mal war vieles anders. Einige Monate zuvor hatte sich die Reaktorkatastrophe von Fukushima ereignet.
