Photography-Literature Constellations

 

 

February 28 – April 9, 2009

 

Under the title Licht|Schreiben (light|writing) the Forum für Fotografie and Literaturhaus Köln have invited contemporary authors to write texts for photographs by well-known photographers. The result is an exciting exhibition that opens on Saturday, February 28, 2009, at 4:00 p.m.

 

Twenty writers were invited by Literaturhaus Köln to participate in the project. Out of the many works by well-known photographers in the Moos Collection each writer selected two photographs which they used as jumping off points for their literary works. Forty literature-photography works were created: short texts, miniatures, essays, poems, and stories that connect to the photographic images in the exhibition and publication. Each giving insight into the process of writing and taking pictures; they show what is telling about photographs and words.
