At the C/O Gallery…Hardenbergstraße, Berlin
Here some impressions from two inspiring photography exhibitions I went to see in Berlin at the C/O Gallery. Firstly Torbjørn Rødland and his exhibition titled “Back in Touch” and secondly the Joel Meyerowitz Retrospective “Why Colour?”. Norwegian-born, Los Angeles-based photographer Torbjørn Rødland likes to focus on mysterious details wanting us to question our perception of situations and reaching into our psyche, conjuring up fears, urges, fetishes, fantasies and longings. The New York photographer Joel Meyerowitz started in 1962 experimenting with using color photography and added black-and-white photography to his work just shortly afterwards. From the mid-1970s onward, he created precisely composed studies in light on Cape Cod on the East Coast, which are today regarded as icons of contemporary photography.
What captured me the most, was the gorgeous vintage colour compositions and Joel Meyerowitz photographs of real street style or lets better say real street life situations, not beautified, not staged, just real life scenarios at a certain time and place.
