Friedrich Seidenstücker - Of Hippos and other Humans
The standard work on the life and work of the Berlin-based photographer
Friedrich Seidenstücker (1882–1966) is noted for his atmospheric photographs of everyday life in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. Thanks to his compassionate studies of animals, he has an almost legendary reputation among animal and zoo lovers, and his haunting pictures of Berlin in ruins are a precious source of material for historians. His images seem to be spontaneous, sympathetic examples of the kind of photography that excels at capturing the moment. They are free of any exaggeration or extravagance, and display a sense of humor rarely found in photography.

Hommage à Berlin - Photographs 1945 1946
The Berlin collection Collection Regard quietly unleashes the work of Hein Gorny (1904 – 1967) and Adolph C. Byers (1913 - 1974) in a long overdue tribute to the photographers' groundbreaking pictorial excursion through the rubble of post WW ll Berlin.

Byers on an adventurous and, for the period, nearly unimaginable photographic excursion that resulted in unique aerial photographs documenting the city of Berlin and it's destruction in the aftermath of the war.??With an imagistic sensibility root... - Exposition
Friedrich Seidenstücker Entre ruines et passé - Photographies de Berlin 1945 - 1950
Vernissage mardi le 2 octobre 2007 à 18h30 en présence d'Antje Schunke, historienne d'art.
Fasciné par la métamorphose de Berlin après 1945, Friedrich Seidenstücker (1882-1966) parcourt la ville, muni de son appareil photo, et réalise ainsi, dans des conditions souvent périlleuses, plusieurs centaines de clichés d'un quotidien où les ruines jouent un rôle particulier, et qui surprennent par leur beauté inattendue et leur humour.
Aujourd'hui, ses photographies nous montrent un regard étonnamment différent sur un passé que nous pensions connaître.
Une exposition du Goethe-Institut Paris.
Avec le soutien du Bildarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz de Berlin
Catalogue disponible. (allemand, français anglais)
Cycle de films "Spécial Berlin" dans le cadre de Kinoche.
