Tokihiro Sato "paints" with light, moving like a performer in front of the camera. In his works, the moment of time actually becomes visible and leaves traces in diverse settings. The Japanese artist's black-and-white photographs thus unfold a poetic effect and at the same time examine the determinants of the medium itself. Friedhelm Hütte, head of Deutsche Bank’s art department, talks with the artist, who lives in Tokyo, about his works and artistic practice.

With the photographer Marie Tomanova – living in New York and born in the Czech Republic – and the curator Thomas Beachdel we talk about her journey from a small Czech town to the multicultural metropolis. Why did she as a trained painter take up photography only after her relocation? What role plays photography in dealing with her own identity as well as with the identity of young New Yorkers? And why do her pictures attract attention worldwide? Do they gain even more relevance in the current political development in the US? The discussion will be in English.

The technique of light painting is almost as old as photography itself. In a completely darkened room, the aspects of a picture that are to be conveyed are worked out with self-chosen, very different light sources. Everything else remains black.

This is also the case in his photo series “Back Home,” which is currently on view in the “Time Present” exhibition. In the series, the artist portrays families who emigrated from his home country Albania and in doing so deconstructs the meaning of the term “to be at home.” Britta Färber, Chief Curator of the Deutsche Bank Collection, talks with the artist about his works and artistic practice.

Du hast schon Erfahrung mit Tintypes und Ambrotypien und willst einen Schritt weiter gehen? Wollest du schon immer deine eigenen Großformat Negative machen und sie auf eigenen handgemachten Fotopapier abziehen?

Nun ist es soweit. Erfahre mit uns den wunderschönen und einzigartigen Prozess von Nassplatten Kollodium Negativen und Salzdrucken.

Viele von uns kennen die konkurrenzlose Detailgenauigkeit, den Tonwertreichtum und die Tiefe von Nassplatten als Positiv-Verfahren (Tintypes und Ambrotypien). Abzüge von Nassplatten "Negativen" sind das alles und mehr. Im Workshop werden die Unterschiede in der Herstellung von Nassplatten "Negativen" und "Positiven" erarbeitet. Es werden unterschiedliche Qualitäten von Kolloidium, ferner Entwickler (Eisen gegen Pyro) und Fixier Formeln besprochen. Darüber hinaus wird der "Negativ"-Prozess, im Vergleich zum "Positiv"-Prozess erklärt, einschließlich der Thematik der Belichtung, Entwicklung und des "Albumin-Subbing". Schließlich wird die Idee hinter den Techniken der "Wiederentwicklung" und "Intensivierung" beleuchtet und praktiziert. Gesalzenes Papier, eines der frühesten Mittel, um fotografische Negative zu drucken, lässt Prints entstehen, die mit dem Reichtum von Platin / Palladium konkurrieren. Darüber hinaus können zahlreiche Farben von Braun bis Schwarz mit verschiedenen Tonern erreicht werden. Papierüberlegungen, Expositionsmöglichkeiten (Sonne vs. künstliches Licht), Tönung, Druck "schwierige" Negative und Handwachs werden diskutiert, demonstriert und im Detail geübt.

In Deutsch und Englisch. Der Kurs ist limitiert für 4 Teilnehmer*innen.

Paul Hutchinson, Ralf Marsault, and Ashkan Sahihi gaze through the photographic lens at phenomena of urban culture and communitization. Nevertheless, their protagonists, subjects, and artistic approaches couldn’t be more different. In a panel discussion marking the publication of three volumes by Hutchinson, Marsault, and Sahihi, Distanz asks the artists: in today’s digital world, what is the value of analogue photography as a record of the time? What role do artistic publications play in this? And how can the medium of photography artistically document processes of urban change? Visit us at the publishing house and talk to the artists in person.

Seeing the beat. Hearing a moment. For photographer, deejay, and music producer Katja Ruge, photography, music, portrait, and pop are inextricably linked. A look at her haunting portraits gives us the feeling that we can see through to the inner core of the people photographed and their otherwise hidden character traits. It’s a skill based on craftsmanship: Katja Ruge learned her trade as a photo laboratory technician from the bottom up, having worked as a photo assistant in England and as a music promoter and art director before dedicating herself entirely to photography in 2000. With her subtle powers of observation and an intuitive sense of visual composition, Ruge has already created hundreds of iconic portraits for magazines, musicians, and artists.

The PhotoDerive is a photo exploration of our spaces, based on the Dérive, a cultural practice with its genesis in psychogeography. The Dérive is "a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiences. Dérives involve playful-constructive behaviour and awareness of the effects of space on us, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll. Participants will create their own derive and document it with photos and a story. They will receive instructions online after registration. Photos and stories will later be presented in a collective online exhibition.

“The only way to extend a limit is to cross it,” says Andrea Galvani. The utopia of a world without borders inspires the work of the Italian artist, who divides his time between the USA and Mexico. “Time Present” includes his work “Llevando una pepita de oro a la velocidad del sonido #6,” in which a plane breaks the sound barrier and thus also a border. Britta Färber, Chief Curator of the Deutsche Bank Collection, talks with the artist and about his works and artistic practice.

Blinde Fotograf*innen – das klingt nach einem Paradox. Ist der Akt des Fotografierens nicht unweigerlich mit dem Sehen verbunden?

Here the artist makes the music: Martin Liebscher photographed himself 6,000 times in different poses at the Berliner Philharmonie concert hall. This large-format photograph from his series “Family Photos,” currently on view in the show “Time Present,” humorously investigates the coordinates of identity, time, and space, as well as the ideal of the artist genius.

Hailed by Terry Southern as the "Poet of Radical Photography" Miron Zownir's photographic work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in several countries from 1981 on. His photos have been published in 6 photobooks and he was featured in many international anthologies. He took up photography in the late 70s during the hey-days of the punk-phenomenon in West- Berlin and London, delivering a tight portrayal of the movement and its peculiar attitude towards life in limbo between a utopian vision of anarchy and nihilistic self-destruction. After 15 years in the States (NYC, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh) he returned to Berlin. In 1995 he went for three month to Moscow to descend into the lower depth of Post-Communist society. From the early 2000’s on Zownir ventured for several photo excursions to Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, California, the Ukraine and Istanbul. He is also a filmmaker and writer of crime novels.

The Ellen Auerbach Scholarship for Photography goes to the Algerian photographer Ferhat Bouda. From the jury's statement: "Whether document, reportage or art is of no importance, Ferhat Bouda's images of the Berbers are characterized by a moving search for the human, an optical scanning that poses the question of humanity with every exposure. Eye and mind turn the apparatus towards a world whose stories are no longer heard, which we see with Bouda in order to hear them." Welcome: Jeanine Meerapfel; Laudation: Hubertus von Amelunxen; Artist talk with Barbara Klemm.

On 23.9.2020, a new EU directive will come into force, which obliges public bodies to make their websites barrier-free, i.e. to provide them with so-called Alt-Texts or Image Descriptions. Our workshop teaches the basics of understandable image descriptions: The sighted participants describe selected pictures for the blind participants. In the interaction of the mixed group of sighted and blind participants, the attention is directed to a precise transmission of what is seen and visual perception is trained. The workshop is aimed at directors and employees of museums, galleries and cultural institutions as well as to freelance museum educators and education officers and aims to support them in their daily work.

Ju.Kali - The search for freedom and desire brang me to a land of paradox beauty: Albania. The simplicity of their living culture seems to me like burden and release at once. And then, I am dreaming. Of a horse (alb. kali). It’s riding through the width of plain and brings the indian soul back home. And suddenly she (alb. ju) was standing there, in the middle of a chain of mountains and clouds where sunlight was interfusing theatrically. Water, earth, air and fire seemed to be united. A unit. People so poor and yet so rich. What is wealth actually?
