Yesterday was the opening of the exhibition

Zeitlos schön


100 Jahre Modefotografie von Man Ray bis Mario Testino
(translation: timeless beautiful
100 years of fashion photography from Man Ray to Mario Testino),
 
which will take place from the 18th of August to the 28th of October 2012 in the C/O Berlin.

The German description says:
Der Condé Nast Verlag hat erstmals seine Archive in New York, Paris, London und Mailand geöffnet und Einblicke in eine Fotosammlung höchsten Ranges gewährt. Die Ausstellung gibt einen repräsentativen Überblick über das Genre und zeichnet die Entwicklung der Modefotografie nach – von den klassischen Bildkompositionen der Gründungsväter wie Edward Steichen und George Hoyningen-Huene über die experimentelle Fotografie von Erwin Blumenfeld und Irving Penn, der Sexualisierung und des Voyerismus von Helmut Newton, der Cool Elegance von Peter Lindbergh bis hin zu neuesten Arbeiten von Mario Testino und Tim Walker. Es zeigt nicht nur Modefotografien, sondern auch Verlagsgeschichte und Etablierung eines Mediums und dessen Wandlungen. In der Ausstellung sind zudem Werke von Cecil Beaton, Man Ray, Diane Arbus, Horst P. Horst, William Klein, Sarah Moon, Albert Watson, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Corinne Day und weiteren Fotografen vertreten.

The curator Nathalie Herschdorfer chose an essence from 100 years of fashion photography from the Condé Nast archives, which are opened for the first time to grant you a view on their photography collection. The exhibition contains over 150 vintage prints together with original magazines, which have never been presented before.

The C/O Berlin always houses interesting and good photography exhibition and I am expecting a lot. Hopefully next week I will have the time to form an opinion by having a look at those prints.

German The German




 Lately my father developed some kind of childish pleasure to take pictures of me and my brother, while we are doing daily stuff. Maybe it's because he tries to capture his children (us :)), which are going away again after the summer.
Nevertheless me and my brother are pretty annoyed about it. At least I was untill I saw those pictures. 
It's like a little series about our relationship. I think it's beautiful!

Future Revival




Everytime there is a German Vogue cover, which attracts me, I am beside myself with joy. 
The July cover of Vogue Deutsch was one like that. The mixing of those patterns is genious in my opinion. That's why I took pictures of the whole editorial for you. Enjoy and be inspired!
