Portraits.

Photographs from the years 2011 – 2015

Mario Marino

Berlin-based Galerie Hilaneh von Kories will present the exhibition Portraits. Photographs from the years 2011–2015 by Austrian-born photographer Mario Marino, who presently lives in Germany. The fifteen large-format photographs in colour and black and white provide insight into the photographer’s current work.

Marino’s work focuses on human beings. During his numerous voyages all around the world, the photographer has tirelessly gathered together his own personal gallery of fascinating portraits. The images, characterised by respect and deep empathy, are not only powerful, but also reveal elucidating insights into the everyday life of the people portrayed, enabling the viewer to share in their lives. Again and again, Marino succeeds in creating a visually compelling relationship between viewer and subject – despite all ethnic and cultural differences.
