ICONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY \u2013 ICONS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Over 80 legendary and contemporary photographs at KUNST F\u00dcR ANGELN <\/strong>

What makes a photograph an icon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some images are known all over the world: Steve McQueen in a sports car, Brigitte Bardot with a cigarette at the corner of her mouth, the man jumping over a puddle. Photographs that have become etched into our collective memory\u2014as snapshots of an era, a society, and a particular way of life.

The exhibition \u201cIcons of Photography \u2013 Icons of Photograpic Art\u201d explores precisely this phenomenon: What makes an image unforgettable? Why does a snapshot become an iconic photograph? And why does one particular photograph make it onto the cover of a magazine or book and remain present for decades?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 80 photographs from the fields of street photography and black-and-white photography take visitors through the cities and worlds of New York, Berlin, Hollywood, and Paris. The exhibition features works by renowned photographic artists alongside discoveries by younger photographers who continue to work with analogue photography and stand for a more immediate, authentic visual language.
\u201cA good image moves you. It gets under your skin, stays in your memory, and often tells us far more than the visible moment itself. Especially in a world filled with artificial images, authentic photography is gaining new significance: it captures something that actually happened.”

For the exhibition, Roosen-Trinks has brought together iconic photographs from her collection with new works by young photographic artists. The exhibition was created in close collaboration with curator Timm Vollert, a member of the German Society for Photography (Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Photographie), who has worked for many years with international photographers, artists, collections, and archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have known Ingrid for more than 20 years as a passionate collector with a keen eye for exceptional photography. The fact that her art association has been providing a platform for contemporary art in northern Schleswig-Holstein for almost five years makes it a special place for photographic art as well. This exhibition connects photographic history with contemporary positions\u2014and that is precisely what makes it so appealing.\u201d

The exhibition presents photography not only as a document of its time, but as an independent art form: a way of looking at the world that changes our perception. Between famous motifs, urban moments, and quiet black-and-white photographs, a photographic panorama emerges that allows us to see the familiar in a new way\u2014and discover the unknown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
