Reisen durch das Objektiv // Exhibition

Dear reader,
If you’re in Berlin from 1-10 February 2013, please join us for Reisen durch das Objektiv, a photography exhibition with works from four Berlin-based photographers, including myself. I will be presenting a selection of six images from the series Oudezijds Voorburgwal 147, shot in The Netherlands in early 2012. Lights from the brothels of De Wallen — Amsterdam’s red light district — reflect off the waters of the city’s oldest canal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal. These reflections are then abstracted through a filter of rain and condensation on glass.
I hope to see you there, Michelle

Reisen durch das Objektiv // Traveling through the Lens
Photography Exhibition & Vernissage
Opening Friday 1 Feb, 19:00-23:00

Four photographers trace their journeys of observation through disparate locations and situations. Although following unique paths, a commonality exists in action – they are compelled to record, to trace and to remember. Their works raise questions of identity, perspective and transformation through exploration.

Vier Fotografen folgen den Spuren ihrer Beobachtungsreisen durch unterschiedliche Orte und Situationen. Obwohl sie eigenständige Wege gehen, gibt es Gemeinsamkeiten in ihren Aktionen – sie verpflichten sich aufzuzeichnen, den Lebensspuren nachzugehen und zu erinnern. Ihre Arbeiten stoßen die Fragen nach Identität, Perspektive und Verwandlung durch Annäherung an.
