Outside on the Inside, Inside on the Outside – Man and Landscape in Photography | Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung

The exhibition presents previously unknown portraits that Alfred Ehrhardt (1901-1984) took on his photo journeys parallel to the landscape photographs and which are now being shown for the first time. The historical images are juxtaposed with photographs by Ellen Auerbach (1906-2004), Orri Jónsson (1970), Aino Kannisto (1973), Anne Lass (1978) and Christa Mayer (1945). As different as the photographers’ starting points may be, their pictures show how the intimacy of the portrait spills over into the photographic perception of the landscape. And vice versa, how the nature of a landscape with all its imponderables and charms determines and shapes the people in it. In short: how the outside appears in the inside and the inside in the outside.
