Presentation of three Photo Archives / Group Exhibition

»NEUE ZEIT?«

Warschau 1939 | Ukraine 1941/42 | Berlin 1945
75 Jahre Kriegsende

Curated by Ana Druga & Thomas Gust (Verlag Buchkunst Berlin) in collaboraton with Gisela Kayser (Managing Director & Artistic Director Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus e.V.) and Dr. Norbert Moos (Forum für Fotografie Köln)

Update March 2020: Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, this exhibition has been postponed to autumn 2020. The NEW DATES are as follows: Opening Reception: Wednesday, Sep 9, 2020, 7.30 pm | Exhibition: Sep 10 — Oct 25, 2020.

The exhibition »NEUE ZEIT?« presents three photo archives: the photographs by an unknown German soldier entering Warsaw in autumn 1939, images by the bauhaus affiliated photographer Dieter Keller from the Ukrainian front in 1942/43, and images by the Russian front photographer Valery Faminsky of the liberation of Berlin and the first peace days in the city.

The exhibition creates a line of suspense between the beginning and end of the war. The photos show the break in civilization that war always embodies. The consequences are then as now visible. Wars were not: they are!

(Translation/excerpt by PiB – read the extended German original here)

Simultaneous exhibition at FkWBH:
»Echo des Krieges (Echoes of War)«
