| | | | | | | | The 53rd Rencontres d’Arles de la Photographie will again present a wide variety of 40 exhibitions with more than 160 artists.
Every summer, the festival seizes a condition, demands, criticizes, rebels against established standards and categories and shakes up the way we look at things. Photography captures our existence in all its aspects, but it has not always mirrored the incredible richness and diversity of the artists.
During the opening week until 9 July throughout the city day and night, photographers and curators of the program meet the public at evening projections, exhibition tours, debates, lectures... |

Exhibition produced as part of the official program of the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles by Lëtz’Arles, in collaboration with the Centre national de l’audiovisuel (CNA) . | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prolific but little known in France, Luxembourg photographer Romain Urhausen stands out for his singular style extending between the French humanist school and the German subjective school of the 1950s and 1960s, to which he actively contributed. His tinged with humor photographs, often a pretext for formal and poetic exploration, go beyond a classic depiction of reality.
The exhibition shows how Urhausen took an experimental approach to daily life, working men, the cityscape, the nude and the self-portrait. The subjective aesthetic he learned from Otto Steinert influenced his formal language, treatment of contrasts, framing and way of seeing the world differently. The show highlights this vision, setting up a dialogue between Urhausen’s photographs and those of his peers by creating new "elective affinities".
Keen to make photography his profession, Urhausen commenced studies in Paris at the age of 20. Images of street life ensued: humanist images characterized by humour and an eye for the ‘decisive moment’. Even though Paris had much to offer photographically, Urhausen found his studies there rather discouraging and thus switched to the Staatliche Schule für Kunst und Handwerk in Saarbrücken, where from 1951 until 1953 he studied under Dr Otto Steinert (1915-1978) who founded the photographic movement ‘subjective photography’, circa 1950. | | |

Images by artists such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, Robert Doisneau, August Sander and Ansel Adams were staged in a modernist and spectacular manner.
Having toured the globe and been displayed in over 150 museums worldwide, the last, complete version of the exhibition was permanently installed in Clervaux Castle in 1994. Since its creation, The Family of Man has attracted over 10 million visitors and entered the history of photography as a legendary exhibition. In 2003, the collection was inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World register.
Today, the restored collection is accessible to the public as a permanent exhibition at Clervaux Castle. | | |

| | Charlotte March: Jersey-Fashion in red and white for "twen", 1969
© Charlotte March, Deichtorhallen Hamburg/Sammlung Falckenberg | | | | | | | | ... until 4 September 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The major retrospective on Charlotte March (1929–2005) at the Falckenberg Collection focuses on the previously little-known works of this photographer from Hamburg, who is renowned for her fashion and advertising photos. Charlotte March’s estate, which belongs to the Falckenberg Collection, forms the basis for a rediscovery of this photographer, who worked for magazines such as Brigitte, Stern, Elle, Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, and Twen. Her 1977 book Mann, oh Mann: Ein Vorschlag zur Emanzipation des attraktiven Mannes was widely discussed, since it was the first to explicitly show a female view of the male body.
With some 300 works, the exhibition offers an overview of all the artist's creative phases, from her early documentary photographs in Hamburg in the 1950s to photographs from her visits to the island of Ischia, which was still untouched by mass tourism at the time, to later international fashion and advertising commissions.
March's largely unknown early photographic work from the 1950s builds on the "humanistic photography" of that time and represents an important yet little-known contribution to the cultural memory of the city of Hamburg. Her highly sensitive view of the fringes of society in post-war Hamburg led her to marginalized, completely unglamorous places in this city in transition. March offers a glimpse behind the scenes and shows the daily life of candy makers, retailers, and life on the Reeperbahn. In later commissioned works, March's gaze points to an emancipatory attitude and a feeling of freedom and social upheaval. Charlotte March wanted her models to look different than was custom… | | |

| | | Alba Zari, Family Archive, from the series Occult, 2019 © Alba Zari | | | | | | | Less Alone Together | | | | | | | | ... until 16 October 2022 | | | | GUIDED TOUR: Wednesday, 06. + 13.07.2022, 18:30–19:30 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition Chosen Family – Less Alone Together draws on international positions and works from the collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur to shed light on photography’s treatment of the (elective) family and its representation of it as a social and cultural construct. In addition to the works of professional photographers and artists, the museum also presents personal photo albums, showing the family stories of people from Winterthur and from all over Switzerland.
The exhibition Chosen Family – Less Alone Together presents works by contemporary photographers who delve into their own family history. Alba Zari’s work involves a reappraisal of her own family history mediated by pictures from her family archive and contemporary photographic documents. The artist – who was born into a fundamentalist Christian sect – uses scraps of text and image fragments to investigate the history of her family and explore her own identity in the process.
Other artists present themselves and members of their family in sometimes elaborately staged settings, reflecting on the roles played by the individual family members and the photographers’ own position within this constellation. Charlie Engman, for example, presents his ‘mom’ in settings that have little in common with our conception of a mother’s everyday reality and calls into question the one-dimensional image of the caring mother.
Other artistic explorations focus on the fact that family can be defined by much more than just (blood) kinship. These works show how photography can be a means of creating new "images of family" that offer an alternative to middle-class notions of it. Photographer Mark Morrisroe, for example,… | | |

The largest outdoor photography festival in Europe will take place
from 9 June until 16 October 2022.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | DUE NORTH is an opportunity to highlight the often little-known creative power of artists from Northern Europe who, since the dawn of photography, have maintained an almost carnal connection with the ruggedness of their homeland. For the inhabitants of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, solitude and wild nature are integral to their relationship with the world. They do not exploit the fruits of nature blindly, but try to understand how everything works and observe it with a caring eye. Their knowledge and constant desire to learn more about flora and fauna lead them to be very committed to respecting nature.
It is no wonder that the countries of the North, with their outrageous economic health, are among the most pleasant nations to live. Regularly crippled by frost and cold and accustomed to the great outdoors, they have developed a centuries-old tradition of political consensus, rejection of conflict and social development based on strict conservation of natural resources. In Copenhagen, 40% of the inhabitants cycle to work, in Stockholm the buses run on bioethanol, and in Reykjavik geothermal energy is now commonplace. Some will see the legacy of Lutheranism, others the more distant traces of the Viking tradition. You can't survive in the far north without a certain willingness to adapt. In countries where warmth and light are vital six months out of twelve, the environment is a crucial challenge. So it is understandable that Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has become the new face of climate change for the world's youth: she knows that melting glaciers and sea ice are not far from home and that it is not a boreal illusion. If your culture is threatened by the effects of global warming, it is your duty to alert the public.

| | | Alfredo Jaar: Searching for Africa in Life, 1996. Courtesy of the artist | | | | | | | 12 Exhibitions on "CURRENCY" | | | | | | | | EXHIBITIONS until SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With twelve exhibitions starting from May 20, 2022, the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg will engage the theme of "Currency" from multiple angles and perspectives. From colonial-era photo albums to visual reveries, social documentary and conceptual approaches to photography, the exhibitions explore the polyphonic ways in which photographs are produced, circulated and interpreted. The exhibition parcours through Hamburg was conceived by artistic director Koyo Kouoh and her international team, alongside the curators of the ten participating museums and exhibition venues in Hamburg. The exhibitions will be accompanied by numerous events and a festival lasting several days in June 2022.
At the Hall for Contemporary Art of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Koyo Kouoh, Rasha Salti, Gabriella Beckhurst Feijoo and Oluremi C. Onabanjo examine the "retinal age", in which images fundamentally shape acts of seeing and being seen. The exhibition Currency: Photography Beyond Capture weaves experimental modes of portrayal, documentary and multisensory evocation, as entry points into reimagining how knowledge is sought and constructed through the photographic medium.
Two of the triennial’s exhibitions are devoted to photographer Herbert List » The Magic Eye at the Bucerius Kunst Forum presents the first international survey exhibition of his work in more than two decades. The retrospective spans his career from surrealist works to his visions of life in antiquity and extensive pictorial reports of non-European cultures, all the way to the male nudes with which List avowed his own homosexuality. | | |
