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… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 UNTITLED 29 Jun – 13 Nov 2021When 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… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 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 sh… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 MAGIC OF SILENCE / MAGIE DER STILLE 23 Feb – 29 May 2019It 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. … Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 FAVORITE IMAGES / LIEBLINGSBILDER 1 Mar – 30 Jun 2017
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… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 Vis-à-Vis 7 May – 8 Jul 2016
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 … Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 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.

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 … Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 MEN / MÄNNER 18 Jan – 15 Mar 2014
It’s a man’s world. James Brown even sang a song about it. Men were the ones who had invented cars, trains and ships. Men were the born creators. 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… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 FRAUEN / WOMEN 8 Mar – 25 May 2013Women 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.

Zum Beispiel von den kostbaren Minuten, in denen Gundula Schulze Eldowy im Ägyptischen Museum in Kairo die Mumien der Pharaonen photographieren konnte. In der Welt der Lebenden unzähligen neugierigen Blicken ausgesetzt, bekommen die Jahrtausende alten Toten in den Bildern der Photographin ihre würdevolle Spiritualität zurück und entfalten, wie der Kopf Thutmosis' IV., eine eigenartige berührende Schönheit. Die auf Mada… |
