Britta Burger: WEISSROECKCHEN
Britta Burger was one of the feature photographers of our first print issue, What Freedom. Insanely talented behind a camera, we worked with her when she was invested in her Hannah Logic project - an exploration of the concept of a ten year photographic portrait, built through taking photos of her assistant/friend Hannah Logic over a decade. A full interview & gallery from that project is published in the magazine.
Now, Britta’s back with a new collection of images and exhibition in Berlin, WEISSROECKCHEN. Night shots of blizzards in her parents' Tyrolean garden are the basis of the new, partly abstract work, and the framework for a photographic exploration of memory spaces. “I’m super excited about this exhibition, because I managed to include a pretty substantial amount of images shot in the wintry landscape of my childhood, mixed with recent memories, colours, patterns, friends, and even a few devils,” Britta explains to us eagerly.
"WEISSROECKCHEN" translates as "little white skirt". The German expression is exclusively used in a children's song about snow: "Schneefloeckchen, Weissroeckchen". German speakers think of snow when they hear the word, yet for everyone else it might have other associations, ranging from pretty to sinister.
The opening night was this past Friday, but the exhibition can be viewed between 16:00 - 19:00, on Oct 26—27, Nov 1—3 and Nov 8—10, at Galerie Frageraum, Barutherstr.11, Ecke Nostitzstraße (U Mehringdamm), Berlin.
