Ute Mahler (*1949, Berka) and Werner Mahler (*1950, Boßdorf) are among the most outstanding German photographers. In 1990, both co-founded the renowned Ostkreuz photo agency, the most successful agency in Germany run by photographers themselves. Today, as then, their work is characterized by a humanistic view of the world. Always committed to realism, her photographs are nevertheless characterized by a strong subjective element.
The title of the exhibition, which sounds like a journey, is made up of the names of the groups of works by photographers Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler and links the photographic projects they have been working on together since 2008. For the first time, the Kunsthalle Erfurt is showing these five series Monalisen der Vorstädte, Wo die Welt zu Ende war, Seltsame Tage, Kleinstadt and An den Strömen together as well as the new project Ein Dorf with photographs by Ludwig Schirmer, Werner Mahler and Ute Mahler as an exhibition within the exhibition.
