Louis Stettner

Johanna Breede Photokunst, Berlin

The with outcry of "There is the sun!" the child Louis Stettner, dramatically gesturing towards the heavens, discovered the most primordial of all light sources. They were, according to him, his first words. It is this youthful fervor, and a never-ending passion for the experience of sight that the 90 years old photographer has retained to this day. The moments that he captures from the river of time fascinate through humor and ambiguity, intuition and empathy, like the picture "Parade Musician," that resembles a postcard: a short instant, that encompasses a whole life. In all of his pictures Louis Stettner succeeds in stopping time and imbuing the moment with importance. However, in all of these pictures there remains something unsaid, and it in this aspect that a large portion of their power and significance lies, because of the way each person can see something new in them. Stettner does not judge, he is but a witness and at the same time views the world very personally. Opening reception november 30, 7 - 9 p.m.
