If you happen to live in Berlin or you have visited the city some time in the past two months, you may have noticed these poster-sized b/w photographs around town. They are from German photographer Michael Schmidt and apparently these images from the series “Frauen” have been put up as part of the Berlin Biennale. Only recently the posters started to appear in pairs with “official” Biennale posters advertising the event, whereas before they were hung more anonymously, competing with actual billboards and free of any sort of credit or explanatory context. A beautiful example of how art photography can exist outside of the usual “framed-on-the-wall”-type of setting. Michael Schmidt currently has a show at Haus der Kunst in Munich and more of his photography can also be seen as part of the Berlin Biennale.
