'Men like Hitler' shows more than 100 private photos of men taken before 1945. Admittedly, the moustache on its own does not make someone a Nazi. But the men must have been known whom they resembled and owned the likeness when they looked in the mirror.

Physicist Masanao ABE built an observatory with a view of Mount Fuji in the late 1920s. From there he held the clouds that surrounded the mountain for over 15 years. The motifs unintentionally fit into a iconographic tradition: the mountain and the cloud.

First overall presentation of the photographic work of the photographer, who was born in Dresden. To rediscover is a careful and accurate chronicler, a busy player in the GDR photo scene and a skeptical, distant observer of the post-reunification period.
