Führung in deutscher Sprache | Peter Hujar / Liz Deschenes: Persistence of Vision

The exhibition Persistence of Vision brings together the work of Peter Hujar and Liz Deschenes, engaging them in an intergenerational dialog about photography. Hujar, who worked in New York City between the Stonewall protests of 1969 and the outbreak of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, captured a pivotal cultural period in haunting black and white photographs. Alongside striking images of animals, nature and decaying buildings, he portrayed the queer and avant-garde communities of Lower Manhattan, including figures such as Candy Darling, Susan Sontag and David Wojnarowicz.

As the first major exhibition of Hujar and Deschenes' work in Berlin, it articulates an expanded understanding of photography and highlights the uncompromising clarity of vision that unites both artists' practices.
