Martin Schoeller

Camera Work Contemporary Gallery, Berlin

The exhibition shows a special part of the artist's body of work that has been never exhibited before. With more than 60 works, "Portraits" shows Martin Schoeller's incomparable approach to the genre of contemporary portrait photography. Schoeller's strategic approach to portray people as individuals gives direct and pure insight into the souls of the subjects. In his highly successful and ongoing series "Close Up" released in 2005, he showed us hyper-detailed portraits, challenging our perceptions of the subjects and view of celebrity-at-large. In the new exhibition, featuring an impressive body of work by the artist, Martin Schoeller stages a unique world by juxtaposing iconographic aspects and personal details that shed light on the celebrities with a new and slightly exaggerated point of view. Fiction and reality becomes one to create new, fantastic and always surprising imagery.
