CAMERA WORK - Fashion
September 20 – November 15, 2008

Michelangelo Di Battista and Tina Berning:
Vogue Italia ‘FACE/project’ is part of the show ‘Fashion’ at
the gallery CAMERA WORK.

Photographer Michelangelo Di Battista and artist Tina Berning present the
results of their creative collaboration with 'FACE/project' in the group
show ‘Fashion’ at the gallery CAMERA WORK. Over 250 works from 66
photographers of the 20th and 21st Centuries will document trends in
fashion photography over the decades, reflecting not only the zeitgeist of
their respective eras, but the dreams and desires of their generations.
Fashion photography often eludes conventions and attempts at a universal
definition. This exhibition will reveal a complex as well as vivid
iconographic system of analogies and references but also surprising
foresightedness. Hybrids from photography and painting by Michelangelo Di
Battista and Tina Berning round out the distinctive positions of the
extensive show and successfully visualize the wide-ranging orientation of
fashion photography on art.

For two months, limited editions of the works of classics such as Edward
Streichen and Man Ray to Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon as
well as contemporaries including Steven Meisel, Ellen von Unwerth,
Michelangelo Di Battista and Tina Berning will be on view.
