This new and previously unpublished series "An den Strömen" (At the Streams) by Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler emerged from 2019 onwards for the exhibition "Kontinent – Auf der Suche nach Europa" (Continent – in search of Europe) by the Ostkreuz photographers’ agency at the Academy of Arts.
For this series, both photographers toured Europe’s major rivers and streams – the Elbe, Rhine/Waal, Danube, Po and Volga – where social, ecological, political, economic and historical themes become apparent and enable both artists to create a superlative portrait of Europe. In images that are both emotionally powerful and photographically impressive, they depict extracts from life, architecture, and portraits along Europe’s biggest streams. The artists started at the Elbe, the Rhine and the Danube in Bulgaria in 2019. The Po followed that autumn and in February 2020 they continued on their journey to the Volga. Visits to other rivers – the Rhône, Dnieper and Tagus – are planned. | | | | | |  | | | Ute & Werner Mahler, Donau #127

In July this year, Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler photographed their first fashion spread for 27 years, this time for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Magazine. The series came about at a small location on the Elbe. Both photographers again took black-and-white pictures using a large-format camera.
