ROOTS OF KINSHIP, 2019

As artist of residence of the Museum Kunst der Westküste, the Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen (b. 1977) was on Föhr in 2018 where he laid the groundwork for his new series of works titled Lights go out: in different locations on the island, he created the first three works of the series. Additional works were created in Norway and in the Danish coastal town of Skagen.
Guneriussen’s artistic practice spans installation art and photography. In his Lights go out series, abstract light installations enter into a ‘dialogue’ with nature. The combination gives rise to powerful, atmospheric images which are as idyllic as they are irritating. Upon closer inspection, a web of subtle contradictions unfolds between nature, installation and light, conveying the artist’s personal perception of the changing coexistence of man and nature, which vacillates between dependence and alienation. The Lights go out series may be understood as Guneriussen’s commentary on a globally exacerbating environmental crisis and reflects his growing focus on what may be one of the most pressing issues of our time.
To date, the Lights go out series includes 29 large-scale photographic works. A selection of those works is now presented in what is the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. A catalogue in German and English is published in conjunction with the exhibition. | | |

(GeKA, Prof. Yu Zhang 张彧, Founder & Chair)
In cooperation with Stiftung Starke, Berlin | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the beginning of her travels to China in 1998, Rosemarie Zens found a predominantly agrarian multi-ethnic state and initially photographed mainly landscapes and everyday scenes in urban and rural situations that reminded her of pre-modern times in our Western world. Within a time-frame of twenty years, groundbreaking developments took place, such as the technical transition from analog to digital photography on the one hand, and a rapid structural change within Chinese society on the other. The memorable photographs show how China increasingly orients itself towards Western culture and how homogenizing forces such as science, technology and the global market influence individual life. On various levels, however, the images also bear witness to how the precarious developments reflect our own approach to the world, while traces of the spirituality of ancient Chinese culture can still be found in the style of the images.
"The simultaneous existence of the seemingly untimely with the timeliness of a mere extension of the present had such a profoundly disconcerting and disquieting effect that I began to capture in pictures the restructuring of a society characterized by the ever more, the ever larger, and the ever faster. It included new mass construction schemes and the remains of ancient residential quarters, the changes in infrastructure and the circumstances of internal migration, as well as the digitization of daily life, the surveillance and the social credit system."
Rosemarie Zens' photographic work is concerned with the question of how the interconnection of history and biography can be represented and what role images play in our self-understanding.
"Addressing such questions may be due to my professional caree… | | |

In “Looking Forward”, we are bringing together 12 contemporary photographers who are pushing the boundaries of photography. From artists experimenting with abstraction to those iterating on centuries-long traditions, these artists are contributing to the future of the medium.
For German photographer Jessica Backhaus, “colors are emotions.” In her “Cut Outs” series, Backhaus lets vibrantly-colored geometric cutouts of transparent paper react to the heat of intense sunlight over a period of time. She then photographs the results, documenting the ways in which the paper reacts and shadows appear and morph, relinquishing control of the final outcome.
Julie Blackmon and Paulette Tavormina are both looking backward to reimagine art historical tropes as photographs. Tavormina composes lush, vibrant still lifes reminiscent of the Dutch masters of the 17th and 18th centuries. Filled with supple fruit, buzzing insects, and subtle reminders of death and mortality, she plays on the photorealistic nature of Dutch still lifes by literally capturing the familiar images in photo.
Blackmon looks to a similar time period in the history of art, but focuses on a different subject. Inspired by Dutch and Flemish tavern scenes from the 17th century, she focuses on the people and places in her small community in Missouri. Smoke (2021) appears carefully and intentionally composed, but the scene itself is organic: “It’s a fun perspective to have…to see the world around you as a potential story or idea,” she says. | | |

| | | From the series "As Usual", 2017, Point of Intersection © Brooke DiDonato/Agence VU’ | | | | | | | | ... until 14 October 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Brooke DiDonato's photographs tell of artistic subversion in a soft, bewitching tone. The photographer shows a seemingly peaceful and idyllic universe, a calming atmosphere dominated by 1950es aesthetics. The viewer can't help being reminded of the American Dream, with the cosy home and well-tended garden reflected in her motifs. The cultural and domesticated landscape is depicted in carefully composed images. The chromatism is pleasing to the eye, the décor enticing, reminiscent of a mail order catalogue, inspiring a feeling of trust and safety. The viewer is left with the feeling that everything is as it should be - "as usual".
But the mind notices a disturbance before the eyes do: each image contains a bizarre element, shows an imbalance, a staging that is slightly off. From this surrealist universe, danger seems inherent in every image. At the same time, it is not devoid of humour. This placid world, where life is measured at a moderate, human scale, is nothing but deception. The photographs quickly unveil a serious, a hidden dimension - or is it very obvious? The lie becomes apparent, resting on the absence of logic in the depicted elements, the meaning of familiar objects twisted, the laws of physics unhinged, habits manipulated, the presence of incomplete or uncanny silhouettes, and ultimately on our unfulfilled expectations.
Brooke DiDonato's images take on a life of their own, outside the norm. They represent a familiar setting and use well-known pictorial codes, but it is just an illusion. The rupture is omnipresent and introduces the paradox. The photographs reveal their true nature in a very direct way: they are only images, illusions, a visual narrative. Imagination can take any shape - even the most famil… | | |

Workshop with Torben Eskerod “CONTEMPLATION”
The workshop will be held in English. register now | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Danish photographer and artist Torben Eskerod (*1960) is internationally known for his various portraits of different existences – such as hypnotists, nuns,healers or even friends between 40 and 50 – and his portrait-like photographs of death masks or wooden model heads. In addition, his professional practice includes intriguing contemplative images of architecture and landscapes, photographs of art and artifacts as well as works made in collaboration with anthropologists, architectural historians and museum curators.
With 140 pictures from 22 different work series, the exhibition "FINDINGS. TORBEN ESKEROD" presents a mid-career survey of his impressively large spectrum. At the same time, the show identifies the photographer‘s distinctive vision, that manifests itself in his artistic as well as in his scientific-documentary work and unifies his oeuvre as a whole.
Thematically, Torben Eskerod's works move in a field of tension between preserving and letting go, between memory and transience. For 30 years, says Alison Nordström, curator of the exhibition, the photo artist has been exploring "the surfaces of the world" with the camera to find out what lies beneath them and "to emphasize the power of what cannot be fully seen, known or represented".
Eloquent examples of this are Eskerod's portrait series, which form the centrepiece of the FFF exhibition. Already in his first series Prayer (1991), Eskerod introduced his principle of the direct counterpart: four elderly nuns, whose faces show the traces of time, seem in harmony with the Bible verse that each of the sisters received as a daily prayer for their ordination; these verses are also on view. In his large-forma… | | |

| | | | | | | Constellations: Photographs in Dialogue explores how additions to the collection expand, deepen, and complicate the stories a museum can tell. From Edward Weston to Zanele Muholi, the exhibition weaves together historical and contemporary voices, bringing fresh narratives to light. The photographs on view showcase the collection’s strengths, particularly in Japanese photography, the documentary tradition, and work by Bay Area artists. Constellations also highlights SFMOMA’s ever-expanding contemporary photography holdings, featuring artists such as Poklong Anading, Daisuke Yokota, Wendy Red Star, and Clare Strand, alongside familiar favorites including Imogen Cunningham and Ansel Adams. The four curators collaborating on this exhibition have each chosen a single image or group of new acquisitions as a point of departure. The result is six unique galleries, all creating moments of dialogue, resonance, and even tension, suggesting just some of the many ways to interpret SFMOMA’s remarkable photography collection. | | |

| | Claudia Andujar, Youth Wakatha u thëri victim of measles, is treated by shamans and paramedics from the Catholic mission,
Catrimani, Roraima, 1976 © Claudia Andujar | | | | | | | | ... until 13 February 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For five decades, photographer Claudia Andujar (b. 1931) has dedicated her life and work to the indigenous Yanomami communities in the Amazon region of Northern Brazil. In the late 1970s, when the community found itself subjected to severe external threats, the Swiss-born photographer, who is based in São Paulo, began fighting for the Yanomami’s rights. She subsequently went on to join the community, thus deepening relations between them.
Her fourteen-year battle alongside Yanomami leader Davi Kopenawa and other concerned parties led to an official demarcation of the community’s land in 1992. Today, Andujar’s activist efforts are as relevant as ever – as is illustrated by current events, such as the ongoing deforestation and environmental destruction caused by mining and ranching, human rights violations in the region or the spread of malaria and COVID-19. The exhibition brings into focus the humanitarian and environmental crises that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
The exhibition Claudia Andujar: The Yanomami Struggle, which brings together photographs, audiovisual installations, Yanomami drawings and other documents, is based on two years of research in Andujar’s archive. It is the first major retrospective dedicated to the work of the Brazilian activist, a survivor of the Holocaust, who has devoted her life to photographing and defending the Yanomami. | | |

© Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur August Sander Archiv, Köln
VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn, 2021 | | | August Sander Award - Prize for Portrait Photography 2022 | | | | Open for artists up to 40 years old | | | | Deadline: 25 February 2022 | | | | Application: here | | | | | | | | | | | | | The August Sander Prize for portrait photography, donated by Ulla Bartenbach and Prof. Dr. Kurt Bartenbach, will be awarded for the third time in 2022 in cooperation with Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne.
The idea behind the award is to promote young contemporary artistic approaches in the sense of objective and conceptual photography. Against the background of August Sander's important portrait photographs, the photographic works of the applicants should primarily relate to the theme of the human portrait. The prize is awarded every two years. Eligible are national and international artists up to and including the age of 40 with a focus on photography. The prize is endowed with 5,000 €. In addition, the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur will organize an exhibition of the award winner's work, if possible and by individual agreement.
A series of no more than 20 photographs that has already been largely developed is suitable for submission. Only works that follow a thematically bound image group or sequence will be evaluated; individual images will not be considered. The works submitted should not have won a prize in other competitions.
The jury is composed of five members Albrecht Fuchs, artist, Cologne; Dr. Roland Augustin, Saarlandmuseum/Moderne Galerie, Saarbrücken; Prof. Dr. Ursula Frohne, art historian, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster; Dr. Anja Bartenbach, donor family, Cologne; Gabriele Conrath-Scholl, director, Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne.
A shortlist will be published at the end of March 2022. The winner, resulting from the shortlist, will be announced at the end of April 2022.
The award ceremony will take place in September 2022 at Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur in a festive setting in Cologne.
The deadline for entries is February 25, 2022.
