s it at all possible to capture the magic of a forest with something so technical as the photographic camera? What do photographers encounter when they walk into a forest that is symbolically charged. Or do artists think of something else than an accumulation of trees when they think of a forest? In the exhibition "Wald" 84 photographers deal with these questions, among them OSTKREUZ photographers Maurice Weiss and Tobias Kruse. „Wald“

RambaZamba is a special theater, the ensemble consists mainly of people with so-called mental retardation. For years, Sibylle Bergemann accompanied the actors in their rehearsals, shyly at first, then with a lot of empathy and a feeling for the special magic of their work.

An exhibition in Berlin now gathers the images of the resulting long-term study, well-known classics like the Woyzeck Series alongside unreleased photos, new prints as well as analog hand proofs and polaroid originals.

The Berlin based gallery Dittrich & Schlechtriem shows the „Mona Lisas of the suburbs“ by Werner and Ute Mahler. We invite you to the opening on friday. In their work „Mona Lisas of the suburbs“ Werner and Ute Mahler deal with the "in between", on a temporal as well as on a spatial level. They show girls in Europe's suburbs, who are in a state of transition: between city and countryside, between being a child and being a woman. After forty years of marriage and individual careers in photography this is their first collaborative project. The book accompanying the exhibition has recently been published by Meier and Mueller with a print run limited to 500 copies. In addition, a limited edition box with a gelatine print and a print edition with an inkjet print are available. „Mona Lisas of the suburbs“
