Discover 20 local and international positions on Street Photography. The presentations are on display during the day around the Charlottenburg train station and at night at the traffic control tower on Kurfürstendamm. »STREETPHOTO : Charlottenburg« comprises five exhibitions at two venues in public space:

2WAYS

The exhibition of advertising pillars shows current works from the world of street photography by six photographers working in Germany. The title 2ways refers to the double level of meaning of modern street photography between the representational depiction of reality and the creation of a further abstract and often surreal level of reality.

Aascha J. Bachmann, Heike Frielingsdorf, Siegfried Hansen, Marco Larousse, Efi Longinou, David Shokouhbeen | Curated by Martin U Waltz.

Tue – Sun, 12 – 4 pm, Venue #1 (see below)

LIVE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Karen Stuke is a master of pinhole camera photography. For this project she transforms a container into a walk-in camera obscura. The surrounding lively station square will be projected reversed and upside down onto an interior wall. A unique occasion to reflect on one‘s own perception and Berlin street life.

Tue – Sun, 12 – 4 pm, Venue #1 (see below)

WUHAN STREETS

Marc Yang is a young Chinese photographer from Wuhan. Currently, he is a participating observer of the streets of his hometown, where life is returning after the great lockdown. On display is an excerpt from his most recent black and white works.

Tue – Sun, 12 – 4 pm, Venue #1 (see below)

BACK STREET NOISE

In intense images Christian Reister and Martin U Waltz observe light and shadow in the streets of the metropolis Berlin. Christian Reister combines new and older black and white photographs to create a powerful narrative between insom­nia, intoxication and tristesse. In Martin U Waltz‘s series „Light Urban Rain“ the city, nature and passers-by merge under the raindrops into a dynamic texture of perspective, light and color. Curated by Norbert Wiesneth.
