If you happen to find yourself in Berlin this Friday, be sure to stop by the Camera Work gallery, which will be hosting a meet & greet with David Drebin from 6 to 9 pm at its temporary showroom at Stilwerk. (More info here.)
“Drebin’s photographs are epic, dramatic and, above all, cinematic. In a unique and opulent way, Drebin stages attractive women against the gigantic backdrops of cities such as Hong Kong, New York, and Paris. The panorama of the big cities, which, due to their format, are a tribute to cinema, serve as gigantic settings. With their impressive skyscrapers, they provide the viewer with a nearly infinite surface for the imagination,” the gallery notes at its website.
“Drebin’s intention is to liberate the viewer from the system of rules of everyday life and restore his faith, emotion, and humanity. The distinctive tension and depth in his pictures arise from the free combination of such differing topics as humor and sex, melancholy and sex, and melancholy and humor.”
And not to worry if you miss David this time—Camera Work will be mounting another solo exhibition of his photographs in the spring.
