Parlez vous francais?

I’m going to visit France by the end of the week to attend the Arles Photofestival, Nice and maybe some other places. I’m going to be part of a group exhibition in the voies-off programme in Arles. The photos are portraits from 2010 that I haven’t shown anywhere before.

– Arthur Schnitzler

The photos show visitors of the Country Music Fair in Berlin, the biggest of it’s kind outside the United States.

Organized by ParisBerlin>fotogroup there is also a catalogue in the making.

Berlin Trilogie at Café Aroma

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended the opening at Café Aroma yesterday. It was a very special evening for me.
Can anyone email me some pictures from the event? I only have a few taken before and after…

Berlin Trilogy / ALEX

from ALEX by Christian Reister

Room 2 will be ALEX‘s room. 40 photos – that’s almost every picture from the book. The new prints are darker and rougher. They really fit to the mood of the series, I think.

Berlin Trilogy / Room 1

Berlin 2006

I took the weekend off to prepare my next exhibition which will take place in three rooms of Café Aroma, Berlin Schöneberg (Opening date is June 6th – check my website for details).

The first room will be some kind of “Best of Berlin” from recent years and it turns out that it will all be photos from the Berlin+Wien project that is still on exhibition in Vienna at the moment. The oldest picture in the show will be the one above. It is from 2006. It was part of my first “Urban B’Sides” exhibition five years ago but somehow I lost sight of it. Maybe I thought it was “too easy” as it was taken around some art event on a parking deck in Neukölln. It’s always strange how some images gain more importance with time while others fade away within a few month after you thought it was a great shot.
