f³–MASTERCLASS PORTRAIT

With works by: Sandra Buschow, Attila Hartwig, Silke Jacobsen, Nancy Jesse, Jörg Meier, Michael O’Ryan, Saskia Reis, Helen Stevens, Tara Wolff

The f³–MASTERCLASS PORTRAIT exhibition combines nine positions in contemporary portrait photography. Under the direction of Sibylle Fendt, the photographers developed individual series within a year.

The result is an astonishing variety of narrative forms, in which the focus is always on the human being. In humorous, melancholic, abstract, nostalgic, narrative, conceptual and collaborative works we meet namesakes, neighbours, soul mates, displaced people, disadvantaged people, our own families – and always ourselves.

The exhibition can be seen from November 10th to 13th, 2022 in f³ – freiraum für fotografie daily from 1pm to 7pm. Admission is free!

Accompanying event to the exhibition WOMEN ON THE MOVE – Eastern Europe between Tradition and Action

In November, we look forward to award-winning author Żanna Słoniowska, who will read from her book Das Licht der Frauen.

In a house in the middle of Lviv live four women who love each other as much as they hate each other. They share their desire for freedom, their rebelliousness – and their unhappy loves. Until the day that changes everything: Marianna is shot dead in the street. From the window, her daughter watches as the funeral procession turns into a demonstration. Marianna was not only a celebrated singer, but also an activist in the fight for an independent Ukraine. Under the same window, years later, is a man who brings Marianna’s daughter closer to her hometown – and to her mother, who died far too young. Against the backdrop of Lviv’s turbulent history, Żanna Słoniowska tells of mothers and daughters, of private and social revolts, the unconditional belief in freedom, emancipation and love (for information, see Kampa Verlag).

Admission 8 € | reduced 5 €. The event will be held in German and English!
The number of participants is limited, so we recommend booking an online ticket, which you can get here.

Views on Eastern Europe

Discussion with Prof. Dr. Monica Rüthers (expert on Eastern European history, University of Hamburg) and Agata Szymanska-Medina (photographer), presentation: Gemma Pörzgen (journalist specializing in Eastern Europe and foreign policy).

Many photos from Eastern Europe follow common stereotypes and clichés. They often show poverty and misery and thus convey impressions of an ongoing crisis. In addition, countries as different as Armenia, Belarus or Romania seem strangely alike in some photographic works, as if a corresponding filter had been applied to the images.

Why do we encounter the same images over and over again? Are they meant to confirm the corresponding clichés and thus the expectations of Western viewers? Is it mainly such images that are in demand in the editorial offices? How can we succeed in breaking such stereotypical views and develop a different perspective?

Admission 8 € | reduced 5 €. The event will be held in German!

WOMEN ON THE MOVE
Eastern Europe between Tradition and Action

With works by: Maria Kapajeva, Natalia Kepesz, Justyna Mielnikiewicz, Oksana Parafeniuk, Alicja Rogalska, Violetta Savchits, Elena Subach, Agata Szymanska-Medina, Tatsiana Tkachova

Introduction: Miriam Zlobinski, the curator of the exhibition, in conversation with the photographers Maria Kapajeva and Tatsiana Tkachova.

From now on and at regular intervals, Salon ReVue will give 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 will determine the events. Representatives from the field will enter into dialogue with scientists and exchange ideas with the audience. In this way, the evenings will become joint walks between the disciplines.

In the second Salon ReVue, the topic “What we see is accusable”. 
The depiction of nudity and sensuality has caused outrage over the centuries. Just as constantly, sometimes more or sometimes less explicit photographs are created and published. Scandal and self-empowerment, taboo and identification – what is it about the depiction of physicality, eroticism and sexuality in photography and where are the boundaries to punishability?

Karl-Heinz Steinle (ReVue) discusses with publisher Claudia Gehrke and photographer and Nominee of MAGNUM Photos Myriam Boulos.

In the more than 40 years since founding her konkursbuch publishing house, Claudia Gehrke has been testing the possibilities and limits of visualisations and texts around the topics of gender, the body, desire, sex and eroticism. She has been investigated several times for distributing pornography in words and pictures.

Myriam Boulos lives in Beirut, works with documentary and artistic photography and was co-founder of the bilingual feminist magazine Al Hayya. Photographs from her current series Sexual Fantasies Censored can be seen at the BERLIN PHOTO WEEK in the exhibition Jetzt: Magnum Photos.

Talk with the photographers Maika Elan (Ho-Chi-Minh-City) and Julia Gunther (Amsterdam), presentation: Ben Miller (Board Schwules Museum Berlin).

In Cape Town, South Africa, black lesbians have created their own world with the Miss Lesbian Beauty Pageant in the township of Khayelitsha. Like ballroom culture in New York, these contests are queer reconstructions that shake the pillars of heteronormativity. In photographer Julia Gunther’s series Rainbow Girls, we see how black queers have defied homophobia and apartheid by creating a picturesque aesthetic in an ephemeral space. Gunther documents a marginalised group that is disproportionately exposed to sexual assault. But the power of these photographs lies in their emphasis on joy: the photo series is an act of resistance that invites black queer women to shed their traumas and show themselves in their full beauty and authenticity.

In the documentary work The Pink Choice by photographer Maika Elan, shot in the homes of her protagonists, queer people do something that is rarely the case in queer photography: they relax. Motivated by a desire to explore homosexuality in her native Vietnam, Elan’s photographs portray the everyday intimacy between queer people. In the privacy of their living spaces, her subjects follow the rhythm of their lives and loves. In contrast to narratives that focus on the pain, suffering and unhappiness of queer people, the photographs show people who are surviving and doing well.

The events will take place in English. Admission 8 € | reduced 5 €

Talk with the photographers Mohamad Abdouni (Beirut) and Bradley Secker (Istanbul), presentation: Ben Miller (Board Schwules Museum Berlin).

The work Treat me like your Mother is a tribute to trans* women and femme men who have largely disappeared from Beirut’s history. In collaboration with the LGBTQI+ NGO Helem, Mohamad Abdouni and his team spoke to ten women between the ages of late thirties and late fifties, photographed them and recorded their stories. Lebanese-born Mohamad Abdouni is a versatile creative mind. A photographer, filmmaker and visual artist, Abdouni has worked with a wide range of partners throughout his career, including the fashion brand Gucci, the Beirut Art Center and the FOAM Museum in Amsterdam.

Bradley Secker’s SEXugees series portrays LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers from the Middle East who are forced to work as prostitutes in Turkey. British artist Bradley Secker is based in Istanbul. His work has been published in The Guardian, on the BBC, in The Times, Der Spiegel, National Geographic and Le Figaro. He is the founder of GAYROPA, a platform for the visual documentation of queer migration to Europe.

NEW QUEER PHOTOGRAPHY
Focus on the Margins

With works by: Mohamad Abdouni, Michael Bailey-Gates, Maika Elan, Milan Gies, Julia Gunther, Robin Hammond, Claudia Kent, Clifford Prince King, Laurence Rasti, Bradley Secker, Shahria Sharmin, Melody Melamed, Laurence Philomène, Pauliana Valente Pimentel, Soraya Zaman

Greetings: Layla Al-Zubaidi (Deputy Head of International Cooperation, Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung).
Introduction: Katharina Mouratidi, Artistic Director f³ – freiraum für fotografie, in conversation with photographers participating in the show.

New Queer Photography is dedicated to all queer people who suffer for their way of life, fight for it, or simply celebrate it.

Julia Gunther takes us on a lesbian beauty pageant in a South African township in her series Rainbow Girls, Bradley Seckerportrays LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers from the Middle East who are forced to work as prostitutes in Turkey in SEXugees, Shahria Sharmin documents the lives of Hijras, who have been tolerated as transgender and intersex people on the Indian subcontinent for centuries, Milan Gies deals with prevailing body images in Europe in his work State of Identity, in The Pink Choice, Maika Elan portrays everyday queer life in Vietnam, and Clifford Prince King shares intimate moments between gay black people and people of colour in the USA.

For more than four years, dedicated art director and editor Benjamin Wolbergs has collected perspectives from queer photographers from all over the world for his publication New Queer Photography: in addition to works from Europe and the USA, there are series from India, Lebanon, South Africa, Vietnam and the Cape Verde Islands. They use the artistic space to play with genders and ascribed role models without prejudice or danger. In their experimental artistic practice, the authors of the images reflect the attitude to life of a new and young generation of queer people who – despite discrimination – live their identity with self-confidence and pride.

The exhibition was curated by Katharina Mouratidi and Benjamin Wolbergs.

The first Salon ReVue is about the major, current topic of Flight.
20 June is World Refugee Day – it is the day that reminds us that millions of people are forced to leave their homes. The UNHCR estimates that by the middle of 2022 more than 100 million will be on the run for the first time. On the occasion of World Refugee Day, Miriam Zlobinski (ReVue) discusses the issue with historian and bestselling author Andreas Kossert and photographer Félix Kleymann.

Andreas Kossert‘s most recent book was “Flucht – Eine Menschheitsgeschichte”. He was awarded the NDR Kultur Non-Fiction Book Prize 2020 and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Prize for “The Political Book” 2021 for his work.

The photographer Félix Kleymann is currently working in Ukraine. As early as 2015, he asked himself: How do people endure the hardships of flight? He set out on a journey and accompanied people fleeing from northern Iraq to Germany. Ride in a rubber dinghy included.

“Maybe love is purely luck that you meet the right person. Or is this a question of chance? No, I do think it’s about luck.” (Taikichi, Japan)

Special opening time: Monday, 14 February, 4 – 9 pm!

On Valentine’s Day, 14 February 2022, we will open our doors to all those in love, married, engaged, separated, divorced and anyone, who wants to become one of them! Discover the exhibition Love Around the World by Davor and Andela Rostuhar with a glass of sparkling wine (organic, with and without alcohol) or another drink of your choice with your beloved one(s)!

For one year, the Croatian photographer and his wife travelled around the world. On five continents and in 30 countries they conducted 120 interviews. They met people from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, and travelled to both, big cities and the countryside. They visited remote tribes in the Amazon and nomads in the desert, spent time high up in the mountains and on South Sea Islands. They spoke with people who live together in all manner of different living arrangements, and ranging in age from five to 90. They asked all of them the same question: What is love, anyway?

In Love Around the World, people from all over the world give fascinating, intimate glimpses into their lives and show what relationships mean to people in different cultures. The collection turns some of our ideas about love on their head and expands our Western view of life in other parts of the world.

Admission 10 € | reduced 8 €

The number of participants per time slot is limited, so we recommend booking an online ticket, available here.

LOVE AROUND THE WORLD
Introduction: Katharina Mouratidi, Artistic Director f³ – freiraum für fotografie, in Conversation with Davor and Andela Rostuhar.

What is it actually, the thing we call love? What does it mean to us? Does love make it possible for us to overcome differences which divide us? Is love the most beautiful feeling in the world or is it a mere construct? Does love mean everlasting attachment, the fulfilment of material needs, time spent together, submission, protection – or does it mean disappointment, perhaps?

Croatian photographer Davor Rostuhar proposed to the love of his life, Andela, whilst on an expedition to Antarctica. Together, the adventurous couple decided not to embark on a romantic honeymoon, but instead to travel around the world for a year to explore the phenomenon of love. On five continents and in 30 countries they conducted 120 interviews. They met people from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, and travelled to both, big cities and the countryside. They visited remote tribes in the Amazon and nomads in the desert, spent time high up in the mountains and on South Sea Islands. They spoke with people who live together in all manner of different living arrangements, and ranging in age from five to 90. They asked all of them the same question: What is love, anyway? 

In Love Around the World, people from all over the world give fascinating, intimate glimpses into their lives and show what relationships mean to people in different cultures.

RUTH ORKIN – A Photo Spirit

Speakers: Katharina Mouratidi, Artistic Director f³ – freiraum für fotografie, Nicola von Velsen (Publishing Management Hatje Cantz) and Nadine Barth, Curator and Consultant of Photography Hatje Cantz.

With its first solo exhibition in Germany, f³ – freiraum für fotografie honors the American photographer Ruth Orkin, a chronicler of the 1940s and 1950s.

Everyday scenes, cityscapes, portraits. Ruth Orkin’s photographs tell stories. Of the up-and-coming America of the post-war period, of the attitude to life of a society on the upswing and of women conquering new roles beyond that of housewife and mother. Her humorous yet serious view of the world is evident in the details of the images, in her sense of movement, timing and composition.

Ruth Orkin is one of the few professional women photographers of the 1940s and 1950s. Although she published in numerous newspapers and magazines such as the New York Times, Life or Look and her photographs were part of the legendary MOMA exhibition The Family of Man, she is still little known internationally. In contrast to many of her male colleagues, whose works are among the icons of street photography. One of her most famous images is the photograph American Girl in Italy. For the photograph, she portrayed her travel acquaintance Ninalee Craig (Jinx Allen) surrounded by men in Florence in 1951.

Throughout her life and work, Ruth Orkin has experienced, reflected and subverted society’s expectations. Her photographs are modern, free and perceptive commentaries on those times. Ruth Orkin would have turned 100 on September 3, 2021.

The Corona crisis has further aggravated the already difficult economic situation of freelance photographers and photo artists. More than ever before, the principle applies: Only those who, in addition to an in-depth examination of content and design of their projects, also deal intensively with the non-creative aspects of their professional activity can compete internationally!

The f^s-SUMMER SCHOOL would like to offer assistance here! During four compact days, renowned, internationally connected experts from the photography industry will impart important first-hand know-how on planning and realising independent photographic projects. Workshops on editing photo stories for print and online publications, the art market for photographers, business communication in times of digitalisationand cooperation with museums and exhibition institutions will support participants in successfully realising their own freelance projects and making a (better) living from their work. Tips and tricks for everyday professional life will not be neglected either!

In conversation with art historian Miriam Zlobinski, Timo Stammberger provides insights into his work as well as into the genesis of the exhibition and book project HIDDEN – Animals in the Anthropocene.

The event takes place on site, at freiraum für fotografie. Admission 5€ | reduced 3€.
