Annette Frick: Ein Augenblick im Niemandsland, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Artist Annette Frick has been making portraits of Berlin's underground and queer subculture since the early 1980s. At once intimate and authentic, her analog photographs capture, among other things, icons of the city's drag and trans scene. Her conceptual photographs and videos address questions of identity and representation. There is a similar directness in the artist's self-enactments and self-interrogation. Her portraits focus not only on people but also on the city of Berlin, whose transformation she recorded in the period after reunification.

In the last few years Frick's work has belatedly received increasing institutional attention outside of her milieu. In 2023, the Marta Herford Museum mounted the largest solo exhibition of the German photographer's work to date. The publication arising from this exhibition provides for the first time a cross-sectional view of her work, which is classified aesthetically and sociologically in a variety of texts and essays imbued with poetic reflections.

Annette Frick (b. 1957 in Bonn) lives and works in Berlin as a photographer; she also runs the Casabaubou project space, which she founded together with Wilhelm Hein, and publishes the fanzine Jenseits der Trampelpfade.
