Janne Reuss
Traverse
In her work, Reuss uses fragments of windows to create a new composition, a new space. Her main concern in this process is to portray the human restless striving for meaning, and the ever-present duality between freedom and confinement. The figures traverse between the inside and the outside world, symbolized by images of windows and represent the moments of transition, of struggle, and of liberation.

Philip Bartz, Rian Davidson...
Close Up!, a competition in photojournalism for young talents initiated by c/o Berlin and the Berlinale. 14 young photographers, including some Canadian talent, were assigned to capture the Berlin International Film Festival from their own perspective. The results are unusual and very personal views on the red carpet, behind the scenes, stars and glamour of the 63rd Berlinale in February 2013. Close Up! is an exhibition displaying the winning pictures.
