Horst P. Horst Joachim Froese written in the past

Expositions du 11/2/2009 au 21/3/2009 Terminé

Flo Peters Gallery Mönckebergstraße 7 20095 Hamburg Allemagne

From February 11 until March 24, 2009, Flo Peters Gallery will be showing photographs by Horst P. Horst and by Joachim Froese.

Being one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, Horst P. Horst has significantly defined face and character of still life photography as well as portrait and fashion photography. Within six decades of transatlantic work for the publisher Condé Nast, namely for the Vogue, the German-born, who in 1943 assumed US citizenship and divested himself of his birth name Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann, decisively influenced the development and the perception of photography. Even today he is considered a seminal antetype for young photographers.

Typical for the work of Horst P. Horst is the referencing to clear classicist poses and the reduced yet always accurate use of light. His photographs embody the maxim of less is more - the image essence is concentrated to such an extent, that the ideal is always achieved by means of the effortless lightness which is so characteristic of Horst P. Horst. These "ideal spaces" do not pretend to be actually real - they are rather an expression of ideal beauty.
Concurrent to Horst P. Horst, Flo Peters Gallery First Floor will be showing the young contemporary photographer Joachim Froese. In his series "written in the past", he deals with the manifestation of memory. With a strong visual reference to Dutch still life painting of the renaissance, the multi-part photographs are multi-layered in content. On one hand personal memories of the artist, it is only the core of the thought, on the other hand, that becomes visible for the viewer, asking fundamental questions about human existence.
