Wim Wenders (*1945)
Ferris Wheel (Reverse Angle), Armenia, 2008
Photography is essential in the work of the renowned director Wim Wenders, to which he often devotes himself while searching for locations for his films. With his landscape photographs, he questions the assumptions or expectations that an observer might have of these areas.
In 2012, he titled a personal exhibition »Places, strange and quiet« at Galerie OstLicht, in which he showed analogue photographs from his travels to Australia, Armenia, Japan, Italy, the USA and eastern Germany. »When you travel a lot, like to roam around to lose yourself,« writes Wim Wenders, »you can end up in the strangest places. I guess it must be a kind of built-in radar that often leads me to areas that are either strangely quiet or strange in a quiet way.«
