Le 14 juin dernier, le photojournaliste, Robert Lebeck, s'est éteint à l'âge de 85 ans.
Né en 1929 à Berlin, Robert Lebeck s'est principalement rendu célèbre pour son reportage « Afrika im Jarhe Null » (Afrique année zéro) dont est issue la très médiatisée photographie du voleur de l'épée du roi Baudouin à Léopoldville, à l'occasion de l'indépendance du Congo en 1960.

Depuis l'été 2011, la Corne de l'Afrique, notamment la Somalie, le Kénya, l'Ethipie et Djibouti, est touchée par une catastrophe inimaginable.

There is no photography. There is always only the photograph which gazes back at the viewer. Sometimes with a careful, tentative and questioning look; sometimes with a brisk or hasty glance. But it always offers something: an invitation to brief conversations. The viewer always looks, and the photograph, full of curiosity, gazes back. As in 1966, when the German reportage photographer Robert Lebeck took a portrait of the former German chancellor Konrad Adenauer at his 90 th birthday celebration in Bonn. The image, published in the magazine „Kristall”, shows nothing more than the left eye of the aged chancellor. The rest is covered by the portly body of a stranger. But this eye was already enough. The magazine photo engaged the reader in a dialogue. What really moved Adenauer on this winter day, what he saw or...

The exhibition explores what role such images play in helping us understand the case for human rights, and further addresses the legacy of how photographs have historically functioned in raising awareness of international conflict.
The exhibition spans a time frame from 1945 until the early 90s and examines the major political upheavals, conflict, war and struggles against racism and colonisation that became especially urgent following World War II. I...
Gallery CAMERA WORK in Berlin presents the exhibition »Africa« from the 26th of April until the 7th of July that provides an insight into the breathtaking landscape and wildlife as well as the culture of individual countries on the black continent. Problematic social circumstances are not ignored, like the photo reportages by Thomas Billhardt, Robert Lebeck and Oliver Jannsen show. They focus on the social upheavals after the colonial rule or the impact of the HIV pandemic.
The American artist Kurt Markus concentrates on the widths of the Sahara desert with a series of dune landscapes. Nick Brands' portraits of African animals reflect their natural dignity. Highlights of his shown works are »Drinking elephant« presented for the first time in the format of 142 x 185 cm, as well as the last avail...
Streetlife - Photographs from our collections 1930-1975
In addition to the Soulas exhibition 50 original photographs from our collections, titled "Streetlife" are on show. The selection documents a forty-year development of reportage photography.
During the Weimar Republic the first photo shots in public areas -on the streets- documenting focal pointsand events were done by Alfred Eisenstaedt or Tim Gidal. Outstanding photographers working for the illustrated magazines "Life" and "Stern", such as Jerry Cooke, Robert Lebeck, Stefan Moses and Thomas Hoepker continued in this tradition.
Again and again public streets became a stage for crucial contemporary historical happenings: so for example in the photo series, shot by Roman Vishniac of the Schtetln of Polish Jews, before their exp...
