Event Description : An exhibition of Photographs by Sibylle Bergemann.
This exhibition presents the oeuvre of one of the leading contemporary German photographers to international audiences.
After two runs of the exhibition at the 'Akademie der Künste' in Berlin and the 'Museum für Photographie' in Braunschweig, the exhibition is touring internationally on behalf of the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (ifa). The Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan is delighted to present the exhibition in New Delhi in collaboration with the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA).
The photographs of Sibylle Bergemann baffle because of the diversity of their subjects such as fashion, reportage, photographic essays, urban and rural landscapes as well as portraits. At first known as a fashion photographer, Sibylle Bergemann fast became noted for her photographic essays and her precise observations of hidden contexts.
Bergemann’s work has to be seen within the social context of her time. Her pictures express a critical analysis of the reality during the times of the GDR. Bergemann understood photography not merely as a method of depiction but rather as a medium through which she can shed light on reality while constantly interpreting and commenting on the circumstances. Thus, the peculiar details of her photographs become symbols that reflect subtly stories and nuances of their time, that play with the longing of the observer, who appears to be drawn into a thoughtful mood filled with eerie, dreamlike states-of-being while looking at her photographs.
From the 1960s onwards, fashion and portrait photography that were partially commissioned by 'SIBYLLE' and 'Geo' magazines, were amongst the subjects that she reflected upon. Towards the end of the 1960s Bergemann began focusing on situational and scenic pictures in Berlin and later in cities such as New York, Paris, Tokyo, and São Paulo.
While Bergemann worked in the beginning almost exclusively with black and white photography she later also belonged to a group of photographers who use color as a constitutive element in the construction of a meaning, and not as an illustration device. She has also worked exhaustively with the Polaroid medium.
"It's the fringes of the world that interest me, not its centre. The noninterchangeable is my concern. When there is something in faces or landscapes that doesn't quite fit ..." Sibylle Bergemann.
Sibylle Bergemann
Born in Berlin in 1941, Sibylle Bergemann began her photographic training with Arno Fischer in 1966 and from 1967 onwards began her career as a freelance photographer. She was one of founding members of 'OSTKREUZ – Agentur der Fotografen' (Ostkreuz – Photographers' Agency), Berlin in 1990 and in 1994 became a member of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts), Berlin. Sibylle Bergemann died in 2010 near Gransee, Germany.
There will be an extensive programme of guided walks and panel discussions during the run of the exhibition.
Organized by : Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, 3 Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi-110001
