The two German artists, Alexander Rosenkranz and Florian Merdes, present a multimedia exploration of Tempelhofer Feld, the largest public space in the world.

Claudia Huidobro was a model, strong from this experience of the manufactured image, she questions the gaze on the idealized woman, through fifteen works whose primary matter are photographs from magazines. The “Merveilleuses” are photographs of pin-ups in lingerie, pages of men's magazines whose ink has been sanded off to make frescoes of women whose image disappears rubbed out. The “Tools” used by the “Wonderful Women” to make themselves beautiful…
There, where silence reigns Photography is my 'zone', where silence reigns, where time has stopped. When I photograph I go beyond the barbed wire, the guards' sentry box, the last light on the asphalt.

Véronique Sablery with time by Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret Véronique Sablery transfigures here the desperate silences and muted voices in such a place. “Etats Dames” is a meeting with ladies.

Film can “reveal” some very nice surprises to us, witness these images from a virgin Kodak Plus x pan 125 ASA film that has expired since October 1974, which I decided to finally use this morning.
