Wild Wild Berlin

3 Photographers - 3 Decades - 3 Views

Sebastian Mayer, Eva Otaño Ugarte, Miron Zownir

Three photographers present three decades, three views and three visions of Berlin at its wildest: streets, chaos, art, pop music, the subculture. Everything is forever in motion in Berlin, constantly shifting into ever-new constellations like in no other city in the world. Artists, squatters and hedonists of all stripes aren’t looking for commercial success and resist adapting to the established. The Here and Now informs this city’s spirit and contributes to the creation of Wild Wild Berlin.
Miron Zownir (born 1953) is one of the most radical photographers of our time. He photographed in major western cities and Eastern Europe, capturing society’s outsiders and providing piercing insights into various subcultural circles. Eva Otaño Ugarte (born 1964) investigates the interface between documentation, art and concept, photographing the underground scene of Berlin’s borough of Mitte in the 1990s. Sebastian Mayer (born 1973) is a photographer who focuses on portraiture and architecture, and while his artistic works use photography as the predominant medium, it also involves film, painting and drawing.
