The exhibition assembles photographic leaps in time in exciting pairings full of wit and melancholy. Black-and-white photographs of West Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s are juxtaposed with colour photographs of the reunited city from 2021 to 2023: It is street photography at its best, fleeting moments and imagery captured amidst a crowd of passers-by.
Sometimes the very same place is photographed anew, most of the time the new photograph freely improvises on a theme stemming from its black and white counterpart. And yet, people are always in focus of Renate von Mangoldt, who has made a name for herself primarily as a portrait photographer of writers.
The photos refer to each other in various ways - not just in terms of content and location but also formally. It is only together that they unleash their power. They tell of a specific time and also narrate a history. How the world has changed, how time has changed, how the city has changed, how people have changed! |
