Winter Hikes in LA

2011-11-28T23:32:00.003+01:00

Last winter. After loosing my way once on a late hike in Los Angeles and nearly having to spend the night without water alone in the forest I was so fascinated by the experience that I started to do a series of hikes after the sunset in the hills and forests of LA.

AMERICAN von Werner Amann ROBERT MORAT - GALERIE Hamburg till 29th October

2011-08-31T16:33:00.004+02:00

Ausstellungseröffnung am Freitag, den 2. September 2011 um 19.00
Ausstellung läuft vom 3. September bis zum 29. Oktober 2011

Werner Amann "La Jolla Wave", 2008, aus der Serie "American"

Die Robert Morat Galerie freut sich sehr, die beim FotoBookFestival Kassel 2010 ausgezeichnete Serie AMERICAN von Werner Amann zu präsentieren.

Die Jury des Fotobuch-Preises in Kassel unter dem Vorsitz von Martin Parr schrieb damals zur Begründung:
„Dem Fotografen gelingt es, in leichten und doch dichten, ausdruckstarken Bildern ein Stück amerikanischer Seele einzufangen, komponiert zu einem fließenden Essay aus Dokumentation und Poesie.“

„Werner Amanns Serie ist eine visuelle Auseinandersetzung mit den Menschen und Landschaften Amerikas. Amann entwickelt dabei eine Bildsprache, in der cineastische Klischees auf private Momente treffen, er konzentrieren seine Bilder auf die Augenblicke ‚dazwischen’ – ein flüchtiger Blick, wartend auf einem Parkplatz, ein ausgelassener Moment unter Freunden. AMERICAN kombiniert eine romantische Wahrnehmung Amerikas mit einem natürlichen, objektiven Blick. Dieser Spannungsmoment bewirkt, dass die Fotografien nicht nur ein Dokument ihrer Zeit sind, sondern in ihnen auch ein Lebensgefühl bewahrt wird." (Cornelia Thonhauser)

WERNER AMANN, geboren 1969, studierte Visuelle Kommunikation an der FH Dortmund und an der London School of Printing. Seine Arbeit wurde bereits international ausgestellt und ausgezeichnet. Werner Amann lebt und arbeitet in Berlin. AMERICAN erscheint im Verlag Seltmann+Söhne.

AMERICAN

Ausstellung im Schauraum Berlin
vom 27. Mai bis zum 27. August 2011

Die Robert Morat Galerie freut sich sehr, in ihrem Schauraum in Berlin die beim FotoBookFestival Kassel 2010 ausgezeichnete Serie "American" von Werner Amann zu präsentieren.

Die Jury des Fotobuch-Preises in Kassel unter dem Vorsitz von Martin Parr schrieb damals zur Begründung:
"Dem Fotografen gelingt es, in leichten und doch dichten, ausdruckstarken Bildern ein Stück amerikanischer Seele einzufangen, komponiert zu einem fließenden Essay aus Dokumentation und Poesie."
Die Serie ist im Verlag Seltmann+Söhne publiziert.

Werner Amanns Fotoprojekt "American" ist eine visuelle Auseinandersetzung mit den Menschen und Landschaften Amerikas. Dabei hat der Fotograf eine Bildsprache entwickelt, in der cineastische Klischees auf zerbrechliche und intime Momente treffen. Das Projekt umfasst den Zeitraum von 1996 bis 2008. Ein zentraler Fokus ist auf die urbanen Räume in Los Angeles gerichtet, ergänzt durch Aufnahmen aus anderen amerikanischen Metropolen wie Miami und Kansas City.

In den grenzenlos wirkenden Wüstenlandschaften Kaliforniens und Mexikos, den Nachtatmosphären und menschenleeren Industriegeländen, werden Assoziationen zu Bildern aus amerikanischen Filmen erweckt. Das Pendant dazu sind Amanns Porträts, welche eine sinnlich nahe Auseinandersetzung mit den Menschen Amerikas zum Ausdruck bringen. Wiederholt konzentrieren diese Bilder auf die Augenblicke ‘dazwischen’ – ein flüchtiger Blick, wartend auf einem Parkplatz, ein ausgelassener Moment unter Freunden. Am Ende kombiniert American eine hingerissene romantische Wahrnehmung Amerikas mit einem natürlich bodenständigen Blick. Dieser Spannungsmoment bewirkt, dass die Fotografien nicht nur ein Dokument ihrer Zeit sind, sondern in ihnen auch ein spürbares Lebensgefühl bewahrt wird. (Text von Cornelia Thonhauser)

Werner Amann, geboren 1969, studierte Visuelle Kommunikation bei Prof. Dr. Heiner Wilharm und Arno Fischer an der FH Dortmund und an der London School of Printing.
Seine Arbeit wurde bereits international ausgestellt und ausgezeichnet. Werner Amann lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.

Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn die Ausstellung in Ihrem Medium Erwähnung fände.

I payed a visit every single day to Cafe Floresta in centro Sao Paulo. I love it there because its perfectly brewed, simple and hearty, no gourmet or nonsense and the place is standing room only. For some it might be nothing special but that's exactly why I think its the best coffee in the world.

It made a person hungry to travel in that light, although also, and maybe more insistently, it made you want to bear your hunger until the end."

Our Man in Liberia

2010-08-16T10:11:00.000+02:00

This is Fred our driver and fixer in Liberia. Liberia is a country withouth a single traffic light. Sounds like heaven but in reality is often pure chaos, which Fred always handled great.

We spend a lot of time with him in the car, driving from the UN headquarter to military camps to the bombed out Hotel Africa- waiting in traffic jams and watching the tropical rain comming down.

I did a little side project which I mostly shot from the car during these drives. Will post pictures of these soon.

The Indiani in Liberia - Editorial für NIDO

2010-08-12T10:21:00.002+02:00

Together with writer Benedikt Sarreiter I was in Liberia to shot a story about the 103 female Indian soldiers of the UN. The story is out now in the August issue of German magazine NIDO.

Most of the soldiers are mothers and their family and children live thousends of miles away in India. They talk with them via Skype between the shifts in which they help to secure the peace. The Indiani are special unit of the United Nations established to soften the approach of their military mission in a country which has been ravaged by violence for 14 years.

"He never left a mark, except a reddened ass, which says something about how gentle he was. A little bit longer and I would have ended up getting used to him. Needing him, in other words, and he would've ended up getting used to me. But we didn't give ourselves time. We were just friends. We talked about the Marquis de Sade, Agatha Christie, life in general."

Keep Smiling in Liberia!

2010-06-10T20:31:00.003+02:00

If you are in Africa - in the rainy season in a country called Liberia - and if you are told that you have to pay your hotel bill in cash because no we don't take credit cards and if you have to get 1000 $ - somehow - and find that none of the banks here accept your plastic and if you finally find the only bank in Monrovia which humbly will accept Visa Credit Card from Europe and if you - miraculously - also find the Pin which you never used before and if the bank machine then asks you if you would like to have a receipt and if you type yes and start to wait for the money then this piece of paper will come out of the friendly Libarian money machine.

True story!

Good night and always keep a smile on your face!

LINK to the festival page (where the first pages of the book are shown)

Driving the German Autobahn to the festival, my cell rang: "Mr. Amann? Mr. Werner Amann? You have won the first prize!"

Yippee!!! All right now - stay cool. Eyes on the road. No jumping. No screaming on the third lane.

Winning the price means a lot to me especially as the photo book was always my medium of choice since starting out with photography. One of my initial learning experiences was visiting the Centre George Pompidou photo library in Paris every day. I started with Abbott and Atget and worked my self through everything till the letter Z. Being a library junky I still love to browse through books in places like the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie where I locked myself in for two days last year in November to check out originals by Ed van der Elsken's 'Love on the Left Bank' or Yutaka Takanashi's 'Toshi-e'. Wonderful!

The Jury for the prize was: Celina Lunsford, Lesley A. Martin, Andreas Müller-Pohle, Martin Parr, Priska Pasquer, Markus Schaden, Frank Seltmann, Oliver Seltmann and Alec Soth.

Thank you!

The prize includes the complete production and worldwide distribution of the book by seltmann+söhne.

Family Album III

2009-10-10T12:03:00.003+02:00

Again the grown-up men are always in uniform.

From World War I. Not sure who is a relative in this photo.

There's nearly no notes in the album. As the album hasn't been discovered for so long nobody knows who is who. I like to think that she is one of my relatives though. In any way I love her dress!

Some of the faces are incredible. To me they look sometimes more like mexicans or native americans than Bavarian peasants. Incredible also my grand grandmother sitting proud with these enormous keys on her lab.

Family Album II

2009-09-30T22:55:00.005+02:00

My grand grand grandmother. 1847 -1933. The picture was taken around 1875, so it's 130 years old. How many of the trillions of digital files stored on harddiscs today will still be there in 130 years?

Family Album I

2009-09-30T11:21:00.006+02:00

When I was recently visiting my family in Bavaria my aunt had discovered an old family album which was hidden for decades. The album cover looks "Jugendstil" so it's probably around 100 years old, although there are even older pictures in it too.

The picture on the right shows my grandmother with her two brothers. Incredible.

Below on the left is my grandmother again sitting on the lap of my grand grandmother.
On the right my grand grandfather. The men are always wearing uniforms on the pictures.

"Wenn aber das Kind um zu sehen was passiert, den roten Kopf einfach so anstreicht, liebt es die Bewegung, die Farben, die sich ineinander verwandeln, die Flamme, die auflodert, den Glanz des Lichts, den Tod des kleinen Holzstückes, sein Zischen." (Lyotard, Essays zu einer affirmativen Ästhetik)

New York, 1994, Limelight and Sound Factory

Sound Factory: it must be 3 or 4 am in the morning. You could not buy any alcohol, but people seemed to be high on something. There’s a huge dancing crowd of topless male muscle bodies on one side of the floor. The girl on the right picture is standing in line with 15 people desperately waiting to drink water from a fountain.

...at Flavia's place in Echo Park, which was our temporary home through summer 2008. Maybe not what Supertramp imagened 1979 but great and delicious for me.

No whining indeed -at least if you are a cowboy.
If not it's fine to cry a river.

Hollywood Boulevard 2007/2008

2009-08-03T14:18:00.005+02:00

Hollywood Boulevard is cheesy, dirty, trashy, tacky. The best thing about it is probably that you get to step on the names of people you know from TV.

There's really now reason - but I kind of like it there...
