Streetlife and Homestories. Photographs from the Goetz Collection

Background information

Ingvild Goetz has been involved with photography since she began collecting in the 1960s. The juxtaposition of important photographic artists such as August SANDER with contemporary artists such as Wolfgang TILLMANS allows a look at tendencies in artistic attitudes in photography and interactions between their epochs.

Content

The photographic volume 'Streetlife and Homestories', which is out of print, presents works by around 25 photographic artists. Their life stories, captured on camera, point to societal, political and social issues that stand above or beside the purely subjective moments of the photographers. The city, the street and the domestic environment are transformed into a stage for the moment. The works of Evelyn HOFER or the photographs of the American city of Trona by Tobias ZIELONY capture the interaction of people and their surroundings and at the same time show places that stand as ciphers for attitude towards life and destiny."
