FOTO-TALK »Photography and Activism«

Accompanying event to the exhibition BLACK IN BERLIN (Duration: February 23 – March 10, 2024).

Discussions about images often focus on the surplus, the so-called flood of images or, in contrast, the lack of images. Both modes of perception are linked to the question of who and what is represented and how is visibility created? The potentials of polarization, disruption and empowerment so often used in art influence the self-assurance of individual and collective identity.

Is there an urgent need today for a photographic authorship that sees itself as an activist in its self-positioning? To what extent can photography break through stereotypes and power relations in visual representation?

Together we will discuss the search for “missing” or “misleading” images of Black people and People of Color (PoC), and the role that photographers within and outside the Black community can play here.

In discussion: Yero Adugna Eticha (Photographer) and Benjamin Füglister (Chairman CAP Association | Executing African Photography Projects). Moderation: Ivy Nortey (Journalist).

Free admission!

SALON REVUE: Collective Gaps in the Gaze

At regular intervals, Salon ReVue gives a space to current and relevant topics from ReVue magazine. New scientific findings and perspectives, innovative ideas and, of course, photography and questions of perception characterize the evening. Representatives of the practice enter into dialogue with scientists and exchange ideas with the audience. Thus, the evening is a joint walk between the disciplines.

On Monday, December 11, 2023, we are looking forward to an exciting evening on the topic of »Collective Gaps in the Gaze« with philosopher Mara Recklies, photographer Julius Matuschik and photographer Shirin Abedi.

How do cultural perspectives and prejudices influence our perception of stories? How does photography steer? Our individual, cultural backgrounds form perspectives through which we view and understand information differently, leading to a variety of interpretations. Where are the gaps in our collective vision? How can visual stereotypes be broken down? It’s about new images, new ideas, diverse approaches – a different narrative.

Mara Recklies combines philosophy and design theory in her research and is a research assistant at the Department of Design Science at Burg Giebichtenstein University of Art and Design Halle. Her research focuses on (design) criticism, interventions and resistant practices.

In addition to his work as a photographer, Julius Matuschik works for the Cameo Collective in socio-cultural projects of cultural and political education. As a photojournalist, he focuses on combining approaches of transcultural and constructive journalism with new narratives of digital visual storytelling.

Shirin Abedi works as a photographer. She emigrated from Tehran to Germany at the age of seven. Since then she has lived between two cultures. She combines her interest in photojournalism with the reflection of narratives and stereotypes.

Admission: 8 € | 5 €. The number of participants is limited. We recommend booking an online ticket, which you can purchase here.

New scientific findings and perspectives, innovative ideas and, of course, photography and questions of perception characterize the evening. Representatives of the practice enter into dialogue with scientists and exchange ideas with the audience. Thus, the evening is a joint walk between the disciplines.

Unlike most voters, a photographer gets to know politicians personally. Proximity and distance play a special role in an area to which »normal citizens« are not allowed access. What kind of images do politicians allow today? What kind of work ethic characterizes a photojournalist? On the other hand, photography itself is in focus. Can the medium still stand for modernity and authenticity today? How is the role of photography to be understood politically?

A conversation with Ostkreuz photographer Maurice Weiss, whose goal is to break the rules of staging in politics, and Boris Kochan, President of Deutscher Designtag and founder of the agency Kochan & Partner, moderated by Miriam Zlobinski.

FOTO-FILM (English) | Rise Above: The Tribe 8 Documentary

For four years Tracy Flannigan accompanied the lesbian punk rock band Tribe 8 from San Francisco with her camera.

This time on June 12, 2023 we are looking forward to an exciting evening on the topic »Photography and Dementia«.

Photography and memory seem directly connected. But what happens in the mind of a person suffering from Alzheimer’s? What does it mean when a person no longer recognizes themselves in pictures?

With the author Heike Rindfleisch (co-author Stolen Moments) and the physician Prof. Dr. med Torsten Kratz (Head of Gerontopsychiatry, Ev. KH, Berlin) we were able to win two great discussants who will illuminate the topic for us from different perspectives.

Zora del Buono (ReVue) leads through the evening.

Salon ReVue: Fake or Fact

At regular intervals, Salon ReVue gives a space to current and relevant topics from ReVue magazine. New scientific findings and perspectives, innovative ideas and of course photography and questions of perception characterize the evening. Representatives of the practice enter into dialogue with scientists and exchange ideas with the audience. Thus, the evening is a joint walk between the disciplines.

On March 20, 2023, we are looking forward to an exciting evening with Prof. Dr. Gerhard Paul and Jan Ludwig entitled »Fake or fact – Image Manipulation and Credibility«!

Digital programs, ways and advancing technology enable more photography by more and more photographers. Events are quickly disseminated on the net, editorially classified – but this does not authenticate them. Our actions, for example, in image manipulation, targeted or purely amusing disinformation with images, and networked, collaging image cultures such as memes are changing the culture of photography. Photojournalism often seems antiquated here in its requirements and rules about what all must not be done with a picture. Between photo forensics and everyday life – how can we deal with this? What can image manipulation do for us?

Gerhard Paul is a historian and one of the most important representatives of German-language visual history. From 1994 to 2016 he was professor for history and its didactics at the European University Flensburg. In 2016 he was appointed senior professor. His publications include the two-volume standard work Das Jahrhundert der Bilder (2008), Das visuelle Zeitalter. Punkt und Pixel (2016) and Bilder einer Diktatur (2020).

Jan Ludwig is a fact checker and research trainer at the German Press Agency dpa. He studied philosophy and history in Dresden and Paris, graduated from the Henri Nannen School of Journalism in Hamburg, and lived for a year and a half as a freelance correspondent in Israel. In 2015, he received the CNN Journalist Award. In 2018, his youth nonfiction book Populismus was published by Carlsen-Verlag, and in February, an online handbook on digital verification techniques was published by the Landesmedienanstalt NRW.

Admission €8 | reduced €5. The number of participants is limited, so we recommend booking an online ticket, available here.

Reading with Veronica Raimo

Veronica Raimo tells of the impositions of growing up in a completely normal, abnormal family. For this, she has found a new language that is as delicate as it is precise. With wonderful humor, she paints a picture of a young woman in the 21st century that is as chaotic as it is true.

Veronica asks herself how she could become the woman she is. Her memories take her back to her peculiar family, to say the least. Not a party goes by that the phone doesn’t ring at some point and helicopter mom Francesca calls. The father wants the family to feed only on cans of food that were shrink-wrapped before the Chernobyl nuclear accident, and in his spare time he keeps building more and more additional dividing walls into the apartment. And then there’s the brother, a pain in the ass and attention-obsessed genius. Yet it’s hard enough as it is to go from being a girl to being a woman, and preferably successful, emancipated and happy. With the award-winning, autofictional tragicomedy “None of It Is True,” Veronica Raimo has written a very funny book about the pitfalls and abysses of life. (More information via the publisher’s site.)

The new novel by Veronica Raimo will be published by Klett-Cotta on March 18, 2023. The author will present the book in advance exclusively at f³ – freiraum für fotografie.

The actress Mariel Jana Supka will read the German text passages. The event will be moderated by journalist Anna Vollmer.

FOTO-LECTURE

An event as part of the BarTur Photo Award exhibition.

Photojournalism is dead, long live photography in journalism! The editorial work and the work of photographers are an important part of the public, above all, but not only, the reporting from war and crisis zones. Andreas Trampe (Senior Photo Editor stern) and the photographer Espen Rasmussen discuss what the working conditions for photographers in journalism look like today and what personal challenges they have faced in their careers. They draw on their wealth of experience from the point of view of the photo editor and photographer and can provide insights from their own perspective.

Andreas Trampe has been working for stern since 1996. First as deputy department head in the picture department, and later for nineteen years as head of photography. He has been working for the magazine as Senior Photo Editor since 2019. Trampe is a co-founder of the “Hamburg Portfolio Review” and the annual stern support program “Junge Fotografie”, in which a student receives a one-year position as a photographer at the magazine after graduating from university.

Espen Rasmussen lives near Oslo, Norway. He mainly focuses on humanitarian issues and works as a photo editor at Norway’s largest news magazine VG Helg. He has received numerous awards for his work. In 2007, Rasmussen received a $60,000 grant from the Fritt Ord Foundation to continue his long-term project on refugees and internally displaced people around the world. The work was published in 2011 as a book entitled TRANSIT. Rasmussen has worked on several large long-term projects including: Hard.Land – a project about America’s middle class in the Rust Belt and White Rage – a reportage about right-wing people in the US and Europe.

FOTO-FILM

Accompanying event to the exhibition Thomas Höpker – Intimate History

We are showing the documentary Dear Memories – Eine Reise mit dem Magnum-Fotografen Thomas Hoepker

The German photographer Thomas Höpker has lived in New York since the 1970s and is best known for his portraits of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. The black and white shots are legendary and shape pop culture. To this day, the now over 80-year-old is on the lookout for new motifs – even his Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t stop him. It’s almost ironic that the man whose photos became the collective memory is now slowly losing his own memory. But the former president of the MAGNUM-Photos agency still has one big wish: he wants to go on a road trip through the USA with his wife Christine. The filmmaker Nahuel Lopez accompanies him.

Admission 8 € | 5 €. The number of participants is limited. We recommend booking an online ticket, which you can purchase here.
