God, Berlin and the World

5 years ago there was a group exhibition called Gott, Berlin und die Welt [God, Berlin and the World] in Berlin, Kreuzberg. Five photographers curated by Andreas Rost. I showed a view images taken in several cities such as Sydney, Hongkong, Cairns, Dublin, Glasgow, Berlin. Seen from now it’s interesting what photographs I chose at the time. At least two of them later became part of the Urban B’Sides series. The press text said that „The photographs of Christian Reister are driven by speed, humour and upbeat colours. They speak in a modern optimistic language but behind the flashy surface there’s often somthing profound and abysmal.“ Well…

Thomas Lobenwein at FENSTER61

Thomas Lobenwein / Ringen / at FENSTER61 Berlin

“Ringen / Wrestling” by Thomas is now on display at my photo exhibition window FENSTER61. The exhibition lasts until July, 16th. If you are around Torstraße, Berlin, make sure to see the original prints. If not, see the series on thomas-lobenwein.de or fenster61.de. I think “Wrestling” is definitly one of Thomas’ strongest works so far.
