The German photographer Erika Sulzer-Kleinemeier has worked for various print media for many years, but has always challenged the purported objectivity of the photographic medium, positioning her work clearly in reference to the present. Her b&w photographs condense current events into memorable images, but even her depictions of everyday motifs seek the political aspect of quotidian life. The assertion that photography cannot be a neutral instrument in the reproduction of reality is one of the fundamental assumptions of her work. The exhibition provides insight into Sulzer-Kleinemeier’s comprehensive oeuvre, while at the same time evoking episodes of West Germany’s past that seem at once familiar and forgotten. Thus packed into these precisely composed photographs one finds moments of history whose images still strongly influence our cultural memory to this day.
