Images of Humanity
30.10.2021 - 10.04.2022
Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg
What images do we make of other people? What do they tell us? How do we confront them? How do we position ourselves in relation to them based on their gender, skin color, language, nationality? Menschenbilder (Images of Humanity) brings together photographs of people from all walks of life—from displaced persons in New York after their flight from Europe destroyed by the Second World War to intimate close-ups of Spanish youths in 2020, which draw a portrait of their everyday life, from scenes of interpersonal relationships, carefree chilling, and hopelessness. In between, there are encounters with people which revolve around the themes of identity, migration, gender diversity, Black Lives Matter, and one’s own mortality.
All the photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and a video installation on view in the exhibition have been added to the collection of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg as acquisitions or donations in 2019 and 2020 and also expand the collection to include further non-European and female positions. The spectrum of the theme of “images of humanity,” which has been a focal point of the collection since the museum's founding, with key works by Christian Boltanski, Beat Streuli, and Cindy Sherman, is thus meaningfully complemented and continued with contemporary works.
Participating artists:
Clemens Kalischer (1921–2018), Antanas Sutkus (*1939), Ute Behrend (*1961), Anna Malagrida (*1970), Christian Keinstar (*1975), Robin Rhode (*1976), François Jacob (*1976), Tejal Shah (*1979), Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques (*1983), Serge Attukwei Clottey (*1985), Otto Piene (1928–2014)
Curator: Holger Broeker

Über Photo No-Nos:
About Photo No-Nos:
Photographers often have unwritten lists of subjects they tell themselves not to shoot—things that are cliché, exploitative, derivative, sometimes even arbitrary. Photo No-Nos, edited by Jason Fulford, features ideas, stories, and anecdotes from many of the world’s most talented photographers and photography professionals on what they choose to avoid, and how they contend with their own self-imposed rules without being paralyzed by them.
Variety show participating artists include: Manal Abu-Shaheen, September Dawn Bottoms, Corin Hewitt, Duane Michals, Cristina de Middel, Ute Behrend, Rein Jelle Terpstra, Sheung Yiu . . . and more!

With the beginning of the night the border between figuration and the abstraction becomes blurred. For the human eye which with the little light of the night can only see black, white and grey, the world of day becomes indistinct. A place and time for myths, anxieties and romanticisms. The light of the night is a special challenge for photographers. Because, the most important characteristic of the night is darkness.

Introduction: Maik Schlüter
Press release on the exhibition "Fassade und Tarnung" / "Facade and Camouflage"
Ute Behrend plays the game of visual and symbolic overstretching: she always questions the supposed stringency of her narrative by omission, creating a variety of meanings. For the photographer, reality is a kind of raw material that only becomes real in the image, in abstraction, in the transfer into illusory spaces, the showing of non-places or the dissolution of spatial relations. Real, however, in the sense of absurd, abysmal, enigmatic and constantly changing processes.
Like a forensic scientist, she reassembles the world, the crime scene, in order to find some meaning in the pieces of the puzzle. Some fragments seem to fit together seamlessly, but in reality they are located widely apart in space and time. Then again, visual analogies feign functional proximity and a coherent context, although neither exists. Everything appears as a hidden sign or clue, a logical next step in uncovering an invisible order. Yet the picture never completes itself. Ute Behrend's photographic spectrum consists of laconic descriptions of places, abstract settings that sometimes emphasize graphic qualities, as well as situational moments of tension, portraits and installations. Ute Behrends works always show the ambiguity of the world and its images. Spatial structure and projection, portraits and installations become a spiral of relativity. There is no such thing as absolute interpretational sovereignty over her work.
In Ute Behrend's work, colours and forms, nature and culture, destruction and beauty, personality and role-playing all appear with equal significance. In her work, constancy and change go hand in hand. Everything happens on the thin ice of the experience of reality. While her visual language seems clear and direct at first glance, the supposedly universal vocabulary conceals many secrets and deceptive visual abysses.
