With the exhibition Hans Hansen . Still Life, C/O Berlin is presenting the multifaceted work of this German photographer and addressing both his free and applied works. The selection offers an insight into the substantial, material and sensual quality of his objects, as well as into his artistic and technical image production and leads us through the visualization of still-life photography of industrial, artisanal and natural objects.
The exhibition was curated by Felix Hoffmann and Hendrik Schwantes. An accompanying publication with more than 250 pages will be published with Spector Books, Leipzig, with texts by Hartmut Böhme, Hannes Böhringer, Falk Haberkorn, Axel Kufus, Juhani Pallasmaa and Anna Voswinckel.
Hans Hansen, born in 1940 in Bielefeld, studied ‚applied graphics‘ at the Düsseldorf Art Academy after an apprenticeship as a lithographer. He is a self-taught photographer. Since the beginning of the sixties, he has been working as an independent photographer in Hamburg for renowned companies such as American Express, Audi, Bulthaup, Daimler Benz, Dibbern, Erco, Kodak, Lufthansa, Siemens, Vitra, VW and more. His images also appear in well-known national and international journals, specialist magazines and magazines such as GEO Magazin, Greenpeace Magazin, Mare, Stern, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, Zeitmagazin and others.
