Langer Donnerstag im Museum Ludwig: On Photography!

In the organizer's words:

On Photography

This evening is about photography and images that can be created "by mistake" using this medium. The American photographer Lee Friedlander, one of the best-known representatives of street photography, sometimes incorporates his own shadow into his iconic photographs. This deliberate stylistic device has the effect of an accident. Short guided tours through the new "Street Photography" photo presentation invite you to find out more about this fascinating type of photography.

Silverfish in the museum? Our photo restorer Yvonne Garborini will give you exciting insights into the conservation of this sensitive medium and the fight against the changes that photographs undergo over time. These are processes that also interest the artist Pauline M'barek, who has set up an exhibition at the Museum Ludwig as part of the Artist Meets Archive program of the International Photoscene Cologne. From dazzling light phenomena, shimmering micro-phenomena, ticking apparatuses and crawling insects, she creates a space in which aspects of preservation and decay interpenetrate.

You can also look forward to a photographic hands-on activity!
