Ausstellungseröffnung: „Die Welt mit meinen Augen“ - Leinwände mit Fotografien von Mario Marcello Stein Mit musikalischer Untermalung – live von Marcello

In the organizer's words:

Mario "Marcello" Stein is an amateur photographer, cellist, singer, poet and social pedagogue. He has been living in Berlin-Pankow since 1988, after years of making Dresden unsafe.

This year he is celebrating his 50th anniversary on stage.

He is the author of many songs and texts, poems and short stories.

Studied culture in Meißen-Siebeneichen, including fine arts and aesthetics; head of the instrumental music department at the BHfK (Berlin City Council); youth club leader in Dresden; head of youth facilities in Wedding. Volunteer at "Zimmer 16" since 2018.

Two sons, two daughters, three granddaughters.

Performances and travels have taken him to Paris, Barcelona, Ischia, England, Sri Lanka, Bad Nauheim and, time and again, Dresden.

"The world through my eyes" is his first exhibition ever.

We see photos taken over the last few decades - the oldest is from 1982. Some are concept pictures, some are snapshots.

Cameras were (among others): Nikon N 4004, Nokia C2-02 cell phone, Fujifilm FinePix S4800.

Look forward to the search pictures!

As a Dresdener, he knows and loves pictures - not just paintings.

Aesthetic photos are also his thing.

He approaches the search for motifs like a painter without a brush.

Only when everything is perfect is the shutter released. Hence his choice of presentation on photo canvas, which he uses to give his captured impressions a "picture-like" quality.

"Some early art photographs were carefully staged, often with reference to works of art. .... Others preferred to realize their own images... The photographers were ... completely convinced of the artistic value of their work."
