TRAUMMÄNNER
50 Starfotografen Zeigen ihre Vision vom Ideal
11 March – 22 May, 2011
Extended until May, 29!
Particularly in recent years, society ́s image of the male has undergone major changes. From the Adonis with six pack abs and the metrosexual male up to and including the self-confident, dynamic success type personality whose decisions are nevertheless motivated by passion. The world ́s top fashion photographers have played a decisive role in shaping this evolution. What is the inspiring force behind the (idealised) iconographical image of the zeitgeist? What develops beyond the requirements of the market place, what develops ́on its own ́?The project gathers the international elite of fashion and portrait photography for the first time, providing it with a creative artistic framework. It shows men from various perspectives, strong, weak, sexy - modern men who reflect more than the social ideal, enabling something from the substance of their being to emerge.The exhibition TRAUMMÄNNER is the follow-up project to TRAUMFRAUEN which was presented in 2008 at the Deichtorhallen.
