Aperture Film Lab is located in the heart of Charlottenburg and serves as a meeting point for the analog community in Berlin.

Keith Bar- Gil Corujeira

/in /by

Keith Bar, Schillerpromenade 2
Keith Bar is a place that makes feel home and welcomed right away. The candle lit bar room is the perfect place to go after a photo shoot on Tempelhofer Feld, come here with your friends or make new ones.

Gil Corujeira, Mármore

The work depicts the moment right after impact, the dizziness and loss of balance. The few seconds of re-assessment. The split-second interval to react is now undermined by a clouded judgment and, as the pain sinks down, the mind is telling you to run. The work is not meant to be taken literally but as a metaphor for every conflict, challenge or threat we go through. The title Mármore (Marble) brings the idea of the uncut gem, the raw, rough element that needs to be carved and chiselled to be of any worth.

the analog photo collective mjuboys came about in 2017 when Hannes and Stefan realized they both shot a ton of 35mm on their olympus mjus but rarely used the images they created in their daily lives.

Light and Darkness
Stattlab group show at Café Lux, 2–4 June 2023
What do light and darkness mean to you? For some of our artists, darkness manifests in our souls, political conflict or regimes of the body. Other works point towards ways of bringing light into darkness through hope, courage, or steps forward, or to the many shades in between gloom and luminescence.

Stattlab was founded before 2013 as a collective of photographers and screen printers in Berlin Wedding. By now it has around 100 members pursuing their work as well as organizing workshops and exhibitons. Its existence is threatened by the end of its rent contract and an impending drastic rent raise. Please help support our community by buying some of the works. 20 % of the revenue will go to Stattlab.

hase – Between A Rock And A Soft Place

/in /by

hase, Weisestraße 22. You want to borrow a skate board for the day at Tempelhofer Feld? Or a film camera, or both? Go to hase!

Luca Vincenzo
An infinite gaze upon the the ephemeral flower, the heightened sense of a fleeting life unfolding. An invitation to look closer; close enough to render detail superfluous as focus succumbs to feeling. Something about forgiveness being the fragrance left behind by flowers when they are crushed. And so it goes.

Jascha Müller-Guthof
Jascha welcomes Luca to Hase and sets the petal kingdom and its ephemerality next to the mere permanence of rocks (you want to climb). A contrast in transience.

A riso & mixed media exhibition.

Redah – AAP präsentiert: Mihai Barabancea

/in /by

Redah, Silbersteinstrasse 133. Früher als Fotoklub Kollektiv bekannt, biete Redah eine Dunkelkammer, fine art Inkjet Druck und einen Gallerie Raum. Die Analog Art Photography Gallery (AAP), präsentiert eine Auswahl an Arbeiten von Mihai Barabancea in den Räumen von Redah.

Mihai Barabancea fotografiert das Leben in den Straßen und Hintergassen seiner Heimatstadt Bukarest. Seine Fotografien befinden sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Reportage und Voyeurismus und erzählen in krassen Gegensätzen von den rasanten gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen Rumäniens und des Ostbalkans.

Barabanceas Protagonisten sind Nachtschwärmer, Tagträumer, Gewinner und Verlierer. Seine Arbeiten spiegeln wider, wie künstliche soziale Stereotypen die Gesellschaft beeinflussen und wie reduktive Narrative die heutige Kultur prägen. BARABANCEA versucht, den Status quo zu hinterfragen und durch seine Bilder des Absurden und Grotesken die Vorstellung von einer seicht fließenden Normalität lächerlich zu machen.

BARABANCEA findet sein Publikum durch die Publikation seiner Fotografien in Fotobüchern. Seine Arbeiten sind nun zum ersten Mal in Deutschland in einer Ausstellung zu sehen.

His photo book „FALLING ON BLADES” will be available for purchase at the exhibition.

Opening hours: Fr. – Sun: 14:00 to 19:00

Reflektor – Instant/Fading

/in /by

Reflektor, Weisestrasse 27. Reflektor Neukölln is a collective of artists, creatives and neighbors. The collective’s works are based in the field of performance art and social sculpture. The exhibition Instant/Fading is curated by Daniel Wetzel, photographer and member of Reflektor and Thomas Ming-Hui Stanka from the analogueNOW! Team.

Daniel Wetzel

Instant/Fading presents the works of three photographers and artists working with instant photography. Antonia Gruber, Kyriakos Tarassidis and Daniel Wetzel.

Though sharing a common base material – instant film – the outcome, concepts and images conveyed by these artists, truly represent the medium’s diversity. A common theme of vulnerability and fluidity of images, identities and moments, is what draws these three positions together.

Due to the restrictions in 2020-2022, the exhibition will now be shown a second time.

The photographers were inspired by a variety of sources, Robert Capa’s “Slightly Out Of Focus” was a major influence. Aswell as reflections from their own everyday lives, relationships and identities can be found in works of the photo group.

About the group:
„As the Weißen Rose Photography Group, we share not only a darkroom and photo lab, but also ideas and inspiration. Through our common passion, we are continuously expanding our knowledge of photographic techniques, film dev and printing. But we have also been able to share music and films with each other during our many evenings in the lab. Regular visits to vernissages and workshops are also part of our program. Since 2023 we now have our own studio in the same building, which completes the photography process from taking pictures to developing and darkroom printing.

If you are interested in analogue photography and everything that goes with it, you are welcome to join our weekly group meetings.

You can reach us via email: fotogruppe@die-weisse-rose.de We look forward to seeing you! (Contact persons: Deborah Kogan and Freya Gerz)
