“Who, if not young photographers, should be sufficiently radical to break traditional imagery to place their lifestyle, their dialogue with the everyday reality, to provide new views. This contrasts with an educational attitude, especially in German universities, that divides photographic approaches into a clear ‘right’ and ‘false’.” – Wolfgang Zurborn

The Brotfabrik Berlin displays from 09th March to 22nd April 2012 the exhibition “Bodenlos” (Groundless) by the photographers collective Proof9.

The photographers collective Proof9 aims to make social changes visible. The current Proof9 members are Peter Feldhaus, Anke Großklaß, Susanne Leibold, Mark van der Maarel, Bigi Moehrle, Dirk Opitz, Irina Tübbecke and David Wieck.

In their first collective exhibition Proof9 presents evidences of the growing alienation between man and our nourishing ground. Topics such as GM maize, Berliner Tafel, farmers’ protests and Intercultural gardens shows how “groundless” we all already act.

The opening is on Friday 9th March 2012 at 7 pm.

“I begin with an idea of something I’d like to make, search for images online, print them, and then construct a three dimensional tableau that is then lit and photographed with a large format camera.” – Daniel Gordon

“Four years, three deaths, sweaty armpits and a fetus is a fragmented tale from the life of the Romanian family Fuliash, who I became acquainted with fourteen years ago. The quick succession of events – death, new life and a marriage, all happening in a short period of time – were the reason for me to make this project.” – Sarah Carlier

“A truck at the edge of the forest, a road to nowhere, the remains of a petrol station, a delivery truck on a deserted car park – the photographs of Elmar Haardt show landscapes that change in their mode of representation between aesthetic beauty and uneasy emptiness.” – Ulrike Westphal about Elmar Haardt

The exhibition “Topography of Passage II” shows for the first time Elmar Haardt’s latest work, which arose in 2011 in the northern states of the United States. The images are on display until 25th February 2012 at the gallery Jarmuschek + Partners in Berlin.

“The future lies not in the pure photography, but in the liberal arts.”
