MATT BLACK : AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY This powerful exhibition started off as a documentary in which he travelled over 100,000 miles on Greyhound buses and , in the end , made it through 46 states . Matt Black ( 1970 ) concentrates on themes such as migration , poverty , and vast landscapes , and he searched for locations where the poverty was over 20 %. The black-and-white images will strike a chord with you if you come from these areas that he focused on . I looked at photos from Arizona , New Mexico , and California , and although the landscapes were familiar to me , the photos gave them a whole new meaning . The works are extraordinary in that they convey a message that undeniably shows the truth of the social landscapes .
JERRY BERNDT : BEAUTIFUL AMERICA Much of photojournalist Jerry Bernd ’ s ( 1943-2013 ) documentation was done in the years 1960-1980 . With a skeptic ’ s eye , he loves America in a new way . The photos are filled with protest , innocence , and the wealthy vs . the poor , and we are always aware that a political conflict is just about to explode . His photographs sometimes look mundane , but on closer observation we see , through his cynical lens , just what he thinks about America and its problems . His work takes us through the Vietnam War protests , the War on Drugs , the Cold War , and the nuclear power plant protests .
# PROTESTSGOVIRAL : BILDER DES AKTIVISMUS AUF INSTAGRAM This is a compilation exhibition based on a current hashtag selection of social and political current events such as # Black- LivesMatter and # RemoveTrump . This project links the work of the two photographers Jerry Berndt and Matt Black .
