  • "May I introduce?" · Jörg Brüggemann about Anne Schönharting

    07.05.2013 | OSTKREUZ | Inside OSTKREUZ

    In Spring 2006 I met Anne as I was an intern at the agency's office. We usually have one intern every three months. Unfortunately, many times it's a coming and going and the time is too short to really get to know each other. Contrarily, Anne gave me right from the beginning the feeling that she was caring and interested. I think that she encounters everyone so open-mindedly.

  • Sibylle Bergemann · Exhibition in Berlin
    30.04.2013 | OSTKREUZ | Books/Exhibitions

    Heiner Müller himself had invited Sibylle Bergemann to photograph his theatre production at Deutsches Theater.
    From 1987 until 1990 she moved about so quietly that the subjects were often surprised to discover themselves in her pictures. Sprechsaal in Berlin-Mitte shows the photographs with many accompanying events.

  • "May I introduce?" · Espen Eichhoefer about Dawin Meckel

    09.04.2013 | OSTKREUZ | Inside OSTKREUZ

    OSTKREUZ is an agency of auteur photographers. Each of the 18 OSTKREUZ members captures his individual vision of the world. Equally important is the personal interaction in the collective. We are driven by an approach to reality tying us together. In collaboration we develop ideas, support each other or just spend time together.

    Nobody knows an OSTKREUZ-photographer and her work as well as a second OSTKREUZ-photographer. That's how we came across the idea of mutually introducing each other on our blog. Espen Eichhoefer opens this series by telling us how he got to know Dawin Meckel and what is exceptional about his photography.
