JOACHIM BROHM – PLACES & EDGES
2013-04-01The exhibition will feature work from throughout Brohm’s 30 year career, from early series including Ruhr (1980 – 1983) and Ohio (1983-84) through to more recent projects such as Culatra (2008 – 2010). The exhibition will also include Paradis, an early series, which has never been exhibited in a gallery show before.
Joachim Brohm rose to prominence in the early 1980s and was among the first Europeans of his generation to recognise the artistic power of American photographers including William Eggleston, Robert Adams and Stephen Shore. He was also one of the first photographers in Europe to shoot exclusively in colour starting in the late 1970s, connecting the visual possibilities of colour photography with a newly defined “everyday cultural landscape.” At the same time, Brohm’s sequences of photographs show how important the medium and the artist’s archive have become as reflectors of our day-to-day existence, challenging him to keep developing and reviewing them in the light of changes to the reality of our lives.
