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 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… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 SOMMER 21 Jun – 16 Sep 2022The 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 be… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede PHOTOKUNST +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 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.… 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.

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.

It is also timeless, because ist fuzziness, the way ist contents seem to flow and merge into each other, opens up new horizons: the surreal rarely demands answers about either time or place. An old-fashioned oddity, the Polaroid is a one-off image, there is no negative. Even at the very moment that it comes into being, it begins to fad… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 Highlights 7 Dec 2010 – 28 Feb 2011In der Photographie gibt es jenen magischen Augenblick, in dem ein Motiv, eine Szene sich zu einer vollendeten Komposition fügt, ein Bild tieferen Sinngehalt gewinnt und die menschliche Seele sichtbar wird. Manche Bildfindungen ergeben sich aus dem Zauber des Augenblicks wie Sibylle Bergemanns Schwarzweißaufnahme ‚Maren’ - mit einer leisen Melancholie und einer einfühlsamen, gelebten Bildsprache. Louis Stettner’s Zwillingstürme des World Trade C… Johanna BreedeDEJohanna Breede +49 (0)30-88913590 photokunst@breede.de Tue-Fri 11-17, Sat 11-14 Invisible Past – Images of a vanishing time Bilder einer verschwindenden Zeit21 Jul – 28 Aug 2010Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST präsentiert in ihrer diesjährigen Sommerausstellung „Invisible Past – Bilder einer verschwindenden Zeit“ Photoarbeiten von Sibylle Bergemann, Hannes Kilian, Stefan Moses, Louis Stettner, Birgit Kleber, Dieter Matthes, Martin Mlecko und Leo Pompinon.

The diversity and scope of her work are frankly remarkable – thus, her mastery embraces fashion, reportages and photo-essays no less than landscapes, cityscapes and portraits. Her images are permeated by respect and empathy for people and their circumstances. Restraint is a hallmark of her photography, whose attention is fully focussed on its subjects. This approach a… |
