Herlinde Koelbl - My View
1 July to 17 September, 2017
Herlinde Koelbl is one of the prominent German photographers. She is known especially for her long-term projects, in which she often challenges social taboos by revealing social backgrounds.
Koelbl looked inside the "German sitting room" (1980). A photographic social study originated amidst German interior, whether stylish or pretentious, for which she photographed people from all social classes in their living rooms, all over the country - from a worker through an artist to an industrialist. Starting in 1991, she accompanied Angela Merkel, Joschka Fischer, Gerhard Schröder and others for many years on "Traces of Power - The transformation of a person through public office" or, most recently, has been confronted with the situation of the refugees in Europe ("Refugees - A Challenge for Europe", 2016). In addition, Koelbl makes documentary films and conducts interviews, e.g. for the ZEIT Magazin.
The photos of Herlinde Koelbl show her outstanding ability to approach people. Despite the intimate look at her vis-à-vis she never invades privacy. She acts without being voyeuristic, but with big empathy and respect, no matter whether her topic is build, nakedness or status symbols.
The Stadthaus presents a wide range of photos from several photo series of Herlinde Koelbl - from her earliest to her most recent works. Some of previously unknown works of the photographer are introduced as well. Herlinde Koelbl assists in the choice for the exhibition which has been initiated by the Stadthaus in cooperation with the Museum of Tübingen.
