KOMOREBI DREAMS

KOMOREBI DREAMS

16 Mar – 24 May 2024


The way the light refracts - it passes through the leaves of a tree, dances over waves, makes shadows darker and the moon a little brighter. Anyone watching the new, Oscar-nominated film 'Perfect Days' by Wim Wenders these days may also feel it, the recurring wish throughout the evening that the film should stand still for a moment so that we can spend a few more seconds in dialogue with individual images. And this despite the fact that the film about the life of Mr Hirayama - a toil… more

21 Oct 2023 – 6 Mar 2024

Anyone visiting Johanna Breede's photo gallery in Berlin this winter will experience pure meditation on the walls: rocks resting stoically in a lake; grasses nestling against soft water; a line of snow snaking across dark rock like the boundary between yin and yang. The photographer of this poetic and contemplative work encounters nature with his camera as if he had just discovered the power of sight for himself. Koichiro Kurita turned a proud 80 years old in November. It has now been half… more

WOMEN ONLY

24 Jun – 14 Oct 2023


There is no single female gaze. When women look at women, the gazes are as varied as the personalities of the photographers and their models - anyone visiting Johanna Breede's gallery this summer can see this for themselves. We encounter tender glances and encouraging ones, those that look cautiously behind façades and those that are thrown at a person as if casually catching a glimpse. On the gallery walls in Berlin's Fasanenstraße, it is mainly silent glances from wome… more

Berlin in einer Hundenacht

Berlin in einer Hundenacht

4 Mar – 17 Jun 2023




In den 1970er und 1980er Jahren durchstreift Gundula Schulze Eldowy das alte Ostberlin. Sie fixiert mit ihrer Kamera die Narben, die der Krieg in der Stadt und ihren Bewohnern hinterlassen hat und hält in ihren Bildern die letzten Spuren des im Untergang begriffenen alten Berliner Milieus fest, dessen Existenz gern verleugnet wurde. Sie wendet den Blick nicht ab, wenn sie Armut, Elend, Verzweiflung und Einsamkeit begegnete. Es entstehen Bilder, die schonungslos sind in ihrer sozialen Ti… more

Film stills from films by Wim Wenders

16 Feb – 25 Feb 2023


"When the art of photography was around 75 years old, pictures finally wanted to move: 24 individual still images per second rushing through a projector achieved this illusion for a good 100 years. Each of these individual images can still produce a photograph again. Sometimes, with a bit of luck, it can also be 'moving' on its own". Wim Wenders

26 Nov 2022 – 10 Feb 2023



What is so special about the visual practice of photography? Photography is a late and still young member of the family of arts. Although art, graphic art, from the very beginning people have had a more intimate, life-like, unbiased relationship with it than with the traditional arts. With photography, its users have been less respectful from the beginning. Thousands of years of depiction and transformation of reality on stone and in stone, on parchment and canvas and paper, in bronze and wax… more

HERBST

29 Sep – 18 Nov 2022


Autumn divides the minds - and the spirits. For some, late September marks the beginning of the uncomfortable, cold time of the year. The days become shorter, the world outside grayer. But for others, autumn is a season as underrated as it is inspiring, full of color, emotion and romance. A simultaneity that many poets have written about. In Hoffmann von Fallersleben, autumn comes with rich gifts and distributes them cheerfully. In Rilke, the last sweetness is chased into the heavy wine. In Ro… more

SOMMER

21 Jun – 16 Sep 2022
The year is in full swing, people are drawn to the meadows and beaches, the leaves dress the trees in rich green. And even if we can't see them in black-and-white photographs, the bright colors of summer can still be glimpsed. In any case, Johanna Breede, with her skilful sense of image selection and composition, once again knows how to make colors shine that are not there at first glance.

In the monochrome photographs of Jens Knigge or Marek Pozniak, for example, we intuitively believe we… more

SPRING / FRÜHLING

31 Mar – 10 Jun 2022




Spring means promise. The last March storms have long since blown away the previous year. The days are green again. Nature is lavish once more. It shakes us out of our winter dormancy and points us towards cheer, light and love. Spring has also arrived on Fasanenstraße, as is evident in Johanna Breede’s luminous gallery. On one wall, a couple is kissing - it is 1955 and the Munich photographer Stefan Moses is walking through the world with observing eyes and an open camera lens.… more

WINTER

WINTER

23 Nov 2021 – 11 Mar 2022
Winter, those are memories. The crunching of deep firn under the boots; wondrous ice flowers on the window panes; the sweet sightings of early snowdrops. But above all, winter is the season when the world becomes quieter. Thomas Mann once caressed a snow-covered mountain landscape with his words as "padded soundlessness". It is not only the world that becomes quieter, but also the colours. Grey light, white fields, black branches. The paint of winter is as monochrome as it is rich in c… more

29 Jun – 13 Nov 2021
When the gallery doors open again after more than a year of Corona restrictions and lockdowns, the question arises: what have we missed the most? What have we suffered the most from?
Under the most modest of all titles, Johanna Breede's UNTITLED invites us to a concert of wishes that holds a whole grab bag of answers. Here "untitled" does not mean without a concept, but rather elevates the greatest possible freedom, for which we have longed for so long. It is the freedom of choic… more

THE ANIMAL AND ITS HUMAN BEING / DAS TIER UND SEIN MENSCH

17 Nov 2020 – 18 Jun 2021

Anyone who observes Stefan Moses at work is suddenly drawn into the maelstrom of that quiet insistent madness with which a great photographer makes the living objects submissive, if not defenseless, to his desire. He smiles kindly. Many gentle, affirmative words create the deceptive impression of a conversation, as if the photographic victim still had a will of his own, as if he still had something to contribute to his self-expression. Last resistances and initial alertness turn into an atmosph… more

With about 40 works, the exhibition is dedicated to the artist Kurt Wendlandt as a light graphic artist. During his work as an illustrator, Wendlandt was confronted in the 1950s with new production-technical printing processes based on film material. Fascinated by this for him new translucent and large-format material, he expanded his experience as a photographer and turned to the techniques of image processing and generating new graphics in the darkroom. With different materials such as film,… more

When you leave - whether it is only to another country or forever in a memory - you take a piece of your life lived until then with you. You pack up your lights and your shadows, tie up the little package of worries, wishes and fantasies. Maybe you take the train to Berlin or a ship far across the ocean. But you always travel with all the household goods of your character and with your confused life stories. Martin Munkácsi has left. In May 1934, the then 38-year-old photographer embark… more

4 Apr – 26 Jun 2020


Beginning and end are in the garden. From here - from the shade of picturesque trees or from the silence of the tiny pond - from here our life once went out; and here it will return. At least that is what the old tales want; legend of Avalon or of Eden, of the green of the Hespherides or the far-off paradise: "There the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east," it says right at the beginning of Genesis. And in the 47 Sura of the Koran it is adorned: "Brooks with water tha… more

BEHIND THE SCENES / HINTER DEN KULISSEN

15 Feb – 13 Mar 2020





The day the pictures learned to walk was a Friday. The brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière, soon celebrated all over the world as the inventors of the cinema release, had invited to the Paris Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie to set the light image in motion. It was March 22, 1895, when the whole world was to see it - as if photography had been given a kind of breath. The new cinematograph, in any case, kept them on their toes. And since then she has bee… more

Photographien 1937-1977

9 Nov 2019 – 31 Jan 2020
Hannes Kilian was the eye of a long century - one that was often as crazy and breathtaking as the characters it left behind. Sometimes, Kilian managed to capture this craziness in a single photo - sometimes knowingly and deliberately, sometimes by chance and en passant. This was also the case in 1977, when the photographer, born in Ludwigshafen in 1909, saw the mysterious silhouette of a small church in the shadow of the two large towers of the then-young World Trade Center. On a black-and-white… more

MAGIC OF SILENCE / MAGIE DER STILLE

23 Feb – 29 May 2019
It is the year 1969: In the French Church of St. Moritz, Herbert von Karajan, then Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducts Arthur Honegger's Symphony no. 2. The exact circumstances of the concert are not known. The only thing that remains is the silence. Robert Lebeck has sculpted them on a minimalist composition of light and shadow. But each before and after is cut off: only the genius and the great silence; the moment between two sentences, between two bars or two notes. … more

The path to exile of the photographer Herbert List / Vom Weg ins Exil des Photographen Herbert List

2 Oct 2018 – 9 Feb 2019
The year 1936 was decisive for Herbert List: the Nuremberg Racial Laws were announced the year before and private life in Germany became very regulated. Artist friends of his youth like Erika and Klaus Mann, or Andreas Feininger had left. The partJewish photographer received warnings that his openly gay life and his contempt for the Nazis were reported to the Gestapo.

Almost overnight he left Germany and with it his bourgeois existence as a coffee merchant in his family’s enterprise. List… more

A man disappears. He turns his face to the camera, holding a mask in front of his mouth, thus removing his person from reality. Only the dark eyes remain, a high forehead with grey hair, wrinkled hands showing traces of age. The rest has evolved – at least for the short moment of a photograph; for the "elusive moment", in which the subject has disappeared behind a strange amorphous object which can barely be identified. Is it a piece of dark wood? An old dried leaf? Whatever it i… more

Romy in Quiberon, 1981

Original photographs which inspired the movie '3 Days in Quiberon'

13 Apr – 1 Jun 2018


A woman. A man. A hotel. A landscape. It is early April 1981. In the French seaside resort Quiberon, a quiet little harbor city on a peninsula in the Atlantic, Romy Schneider met the photographer Robert Lebeck. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. He had portrayed her many years ago. It was not the last time the two would meet. However, it would never be as intense as here in Quiberon. April 1981.

They say that love never ends. It hopes for everything and seeks the truth; it does not bear grudges; it sustains. Perhaps one only needs to learn to see properly – with eyes willing to believe and to tolerate everything. Eyes anticipating a stretched back to suggest the grace of Nike with broken wings and a fleeting pose to suggest a poetic "film noir". The Swiss photographer René Groebli has such eyes - they transform the world. His eyes create a sensual landscape from… more

The world is full of paradoxes: speech without words, knowledge that no longer needs thoughts. It seems contradictions are what really drive us in life; the journey without routes and routine. Already in the sixth century the Chinese Zen master Kanchi Sosan taught that even if our words were exact and our thoughts correct, they would never correspond to the truth, since truth defies any logic and all expectations, leading through alleged deviations and contradictions.

Love loves small things. Love doesn't seek big pathos or emphasis. Love hides in the profane; in the shiny shoes in which one has journeyed or in the perfect fold of a beautiful dress. The really big things often lurk in the smallest of details. "I believe," the American poet Walt Whitman once wrote, "a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars." It is a poetry of dignity and nuance. This is a credo about the interplay of all things and the reverberati… more

Humility in the face of nature and its inimitable sublimity: that is the feeling that overcomes Jens Knigge during his wintertime travels along the Arctic Circle. He has recorded his impressions of snow-covered landscapes and the mysterious aurora borealis in mostly small-format platinum-palladium prints. In the end, the contact sheets of the negatives of his analog photographs illustrate the inadequacy of established formal idioms and modes of expression. For it seems to be virtually imposs… more

The world is a stage. In the wings of work and everyday life, against a backdrop of hope and care, we perform our tiny roles in the vast world theatre. Perhaps we’re not aware of the play. Perhaps the stages are too large and the masquerades have become like a second skin. We know neither the title of the piece, nor do we know the author, set designer or any happy endings. We’re just mimes, imposters of social roles, actors in beloved figurations. At certain moments, however, we s… more

There is no photography. There is always only the photograph which gazes back at the viewer. Sometimes with a careful, tentative and questioning look; sometimes with a brisk or hasty glance. But it always offers something: an invitation to brief conversations. The viewer always looks, and the photograph, full of curiosity, gazes back. As in 1966, when the German reportage photographer Robert Lebeck took a portrait of the former German chancellor Konrad Adenauer at his 90th birthday celebration … more

Some thoughts inspired by Lessing’s Laocoon on the art of Karin Székessy by Max Bense: "The beauty that is communicated to us from physical objects is subject to general laws that may relate to several things; to actions and thoughts just as much as to external appearance." (Laocoon, 1766)

Looking at the photographs by Karin Székessy might inspire you to write a new Laocoon which would have to take as its subject less "the limits of painting and poetry"… more

The world is disrupted. Behind familiarity there is often the unknown; behind the present history extends itself. Wherever there is light there is also shadow - a discrepancy which is difficult to bear. From here to there it is often only a jump. Only a few manage to make exactly this jump to the homeland; to build a house on the cracks and borders. One who did manage this jump is the German-French naturalist and poet Adelbert von Chamisso. In an either/or situation he tried the third option. … more

The world is being manipulated. Things which we consider to be real may be, at closer inspection, just a muddle of incoherent messages. What had once been clear signs of communication, now looks like a mess - jumbled and confused. Dallas, Texas 1963: the facade of a building, facing the highway, is scattered by texts and signs - it's a chaos of letters. One message conceals the next, one billboard covers it's neighbor. The more we want to decipher this image the less we understand t… more

All water is a parable. It has depth and breadth; it has calm and tumult. It appears to reflect all ambiguities. Even in antiquity it was referred to as the basis of life: "Everything from water, and to water everything returns," said the philosopher Thales of Miletus.


The photographers Sheila Rock and Beat Presser could say the same of water. On June 19th, the Galerie Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST opens the exhibition Seascapes, in which Sheila Rock and Beat Presser together take… more

THE WINDOW - DAS FENSTER

THE WINDOW - DAS FENSTER

21 Mar – 13 Jun 2015


We alone are the insiders of our interior worlds. Within ourselves we feel safe and yet often isolated and sealed off. At the same time, hope is almost always contained therein: evident itself in windows, in the gates of the eyes. Each window is a link, a step between the interior and the exterior. The window functions just as with the lens of a camera - it is the point between the camera obscura and the outside. The point where light breaks through and illuminates another world.

The world is everything that is the case. It is a rolling landscape at dusk and a swarm of birds over a temple's roof. The world is a teacup in Onomichi and a deserted island in Naoshima. It is, in actuality, everything that is the case. Or, at least, so indicates the famous first posit of Wittgenstein's "Tractatus logico-philosophicus". But the world could also be the reality depicted in Donata Wenders' photo series "Journey to Onomichi". In this photograp… more

Fotografen haben ihre eigene Wahrheit. Sie zeigen uns immer nur einen Ausschnitt dessen, was wirklich da ist. Sie verfremden, dirigieren Licht und Schatten. Sie machen sich groß oder klein, klettern oder legen sich hin. Sie haben ein eigenes Zeitgefühl und häufig ein gutes Gespür für den richtigen Moment. Zwischen ihnen und dem, was sie sehen, steht immer die Kamera. Wann der Auslöser gedrückt wird, bleibt ihr Geheimnis. Erst mit dem fertigen Bild lassen sie … more

When a contemporary photographer is interested in such an archaic technique as the platinum-palladium print in our age of digital imagery, he must have a good reason: for Jens Knigge it is likely the rich gray tonal scale which can only be achieved in this process. As Irving Penn before him, Knigge has perfected the entire production process as few others have, starting with releasing the shutter of his large-format camera, to the work he later performs in the darkroom… more

The ABSOLUTE LANDSCAPE

14 Jun – 26 Jul 2014



The series THE ABSOLUTE LANDSCAPE resembles a play, in which light becomes the principal actor, time the author, and the landscape simply the stage and setting. Through light, as an analogy of time, the invisible author attempts to establish a visible presence. The performance of this theater of light runs over a quarter of a century.

This concept dates back to the idea of the serial representation of time as invented by Muybridge and later revisited by Monet. Muybridge disassembles movemen… more

Great careers have small beginnings. When Robert Lebeck was given his first camera in 1952, he cannot have dreamt that in the course of five decades that little device would help him become probably Germany’s most important photo-reporter. And his photographic training is reckoned to have lasted just ten minutes – the time it took him to read the instruction booklet for his brand-new Retina 1a back then. His first pictures were apparently enlarged in his bathroom and then dried in th… more

The “King of Soul” failed to mention however that it was also men who invented photography; men, who first created artificial images from light and chemicals. Technically enthusiastic homo faber. It was small wonder that such types initially found themselves mostly behind rather than in front of their new inventions; where the… more

A retoucher’s workshop: a table in the window, which is both light source and shop window. His retoucher’s pen in his right hand, he leans over a portrait photo, comparing the fruits of his labour with a small photographic original. On the table, other pens or brushes lie ready, next to magnifying glasses and all kinds of boxes, tins and phials. The retoucher’s face is unseen, yet the overall picture is one of the greatest precision and an almost meditative absorption.

Since then, photography has experienced a complex development: both technically and with regard to the aesthetics of the image. In the meantime, analogous processes are being replaced by digital. In relation to this, Marek Pozniak took a voluntary ste… more

FRAUEN / WOMEN

8 Mar – 25 May 2013
Women are a major driving force of photography. No sooner had French pioneer Louis Daguerre introduced the media to the public in 1839 than it began to be used as a method to portray female beauty. It was American chemist John W. Draper who ushered women into photography with a portrait of his sister Dorothy. And ever since, the suspicion has been that a wooing Orpheus lurks behind the cold technology of the camera - an artist whose intentions are to captivate and seduce women with photographs.
