"Joachim Brohm
Typology 1979
No two of the little houses are the same... carefully proportioned furnishings here are wildly contradicted with slapdash decorations over there. Everyone has thought about their buildings, brought materials, laid walls, used power drills, insulated, glued things, extended the previous tenant's shed, retro-fitted a bigger window, added a television antenna. They are strange hybrid buildings, between tool sh ..."
"Joachim Brohm, born in 1955, created the right photographic images at the right time - images that would prove to be a pioneering achievement in the context of a fierce debate over the status of photography in art. His work became a vehicle for an understanding of art since the 1970s that made a young generation of artists connect the visual possibilities of color photography with a newly defined 'everyday cultural landscape.' At the sa ..."
"For roughly a decade, from 1992 to 2002, Joachim Brohm undertook a photographic project of long-term urban observation. At the same location on the outskirts of a German city, he took hundreds of pictures of redevelopment, recording the place as it was transformed from a 1950s commercial/industrial district into a gentrified post-industrial services center and living area. In a meditative response to these changes, Brohm cartographicall ..."

"In den achtziger Jahren machte sich der in Essen ausgebildete Fotograf Joachim Brohm daran, seine Heimat, das Ruhrgebiet, mit der Kamera dokumentarisch zu erkunden -- und schuf Bilder von zumeist trostlosen, längst erschlossenen und vom Kohleabbau geprägten Landschaften an der Wegscheide von Natur und Kultur, die mit den auf ihnen versammelten Autos, Ausflüglern und Freizeitsportlern eine ganz eigentümliche Melancholie entfalten. So ent ..."
"This publication brings together the work of German photographer Joachim Brohm (born 1955), credited with being one of the first photographers in Germany to work exclusively in color, and American photographer Alec Soth (born 1969). Joachim Brohm & Alec Soth: Two Rivers focuses on the emblematic series both artists have shot in river regions: Brohm’s Ruhr series (1980–83) and Soth’s Sleeping by the Mississippi (2000–04). Other work incl ..."
"Joachim Brohm was among the first of a younger generation of German photographers who discovered in color photography a new medium of self-expression. At the end of the 1970s serious artistic photography was still supposedly only made in black and white, despite major developments such as William Egglestons controversial 1976 show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Brohms OHIO photographs were made in 1983 and 1984 whilst he was l ..."
"The film Il deserto rosso (The Red Desert) by Michelangelo Antonioni, produced in the industrial region around Ravenna, Italy, in 1964, is considered one of the most important works in contemporary film history. Because of its innovative use of color, uncomfortably slow pacing, and existential environment, the film has long held appeal to filmmakers, artists, and photographers. As a response to the film, a joint endeavor between the stu ..."
"St Trinitas Church LeipzigThe consecration of a new church in May 2015 was the end of an odyssey for a Leipzig parish community that has lasted for over seventy years. With the construction of the new building by Schulz & Schulz architects, St Trinitas has returned to the center of the city: prominently situated right across from the monumental town-hall built in 1905. A series of about 120 carefully selected photographs follow the co ..."
"This is also reflected in the book with over 30 participants, who are reacting to Il deserto rosso with the means of the photographic series in their current work."
"This expansive exploration of gesture - a wink, a nod, a shrug - is a unique and rich convergence of performance art, visual art, video, literary art, architecture, and theater, led by Tina Bara and Alba D'Urbano, professors at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. The book itself is the culmination of various efforts by more than 50 international artists, first showcased in 2006 at Leipzig's famed Opera House as well as other venues, ..."
