The incubator of ALEX. Printed today. Will the finishing be done until Oct, 16th? 99,99% YES. Book presentation will be at the opening of the exhibition MITTELPUNKT DER WELT. Part of the 4th European Month of Photography in Berlin.
This weekend I have been at the Festival For Young Photojournalism in Hannover, Germany where 60 pieces of journalistic photography and several examples of audiovisuals were presented to an audience of about 20.000 people in five days. One can say that was a big success for high class photojournalism, which was said to be nearly dead in times of digital picture flood and a suffering press. But the ability to tell a story through fascinating images of high quality is still attractive to people who like to get good information from journalists who want to show what’s happening in the world. More and more these journalists find ways to get independent of publishers and present their work in self-published books or as audiovisuals, tools who allow them to spread their work without editorial restrictions. The quantity of amazing quality shown in Hannover gives confidence that ambitious photojournalism is not dead, but rising like a phoenix… And hopefully some near day these photographers can again earn enough money for their living.
First we take Berlin then we take London. Just got the message that my LONDONERS series will be part of Slideluck Potshow in London this saturday. Fortunately I’ll be in London anyway so I’m very much looking forward to the event. Check SLPS Website for details.
“Ringen / Wrestling” by Thomas is now on display at my photo exhibition window FENSTER61. The exhibition lasts until July, 16th. If you are around Torstraße, Berlin, make sure to see the original prints. If not, see the series on thomas-lobenwein.de or fenster61.de. I think “Wrestling” is definitly one of Thomas’ strongest works so far.
Kick off for the screenings tonight is 10 pm – not 7 pm as previously announced. Official Website

I visited training and competition of Türkischer Ringerverein Berlin for several months to capture something like the spirit of what is happening there.
