“Photographs are like whales that are capable of carrying entire islands,” writes photographer Dörte Eißfeldt (b. 1950), exploring the world around us, and the medium itself, with a gaze that is at once tender, poetic, and ever curious. One of Germany’s most important experimental photographers, the artist has produced over nearly five decades a multivalent body of work open to constant reinterpretation. With Archipelago, she creates a space for these island groups of meaning, memory, analogy, and fleeting impressions.
With Dörte Eißfeldt . Archipelago, C/O Berlin presents a long-awaited major institutional exhibition by the artist, who was recently honored with the Prix Viviane Esders. It includes works spanning almost five decades, including never-before-seen early pieces from the 1980s and 90s, key works from her personal archive, large-format series, as well as unpublished sketches, artist books, and notebooks. Curated by Boaz Levin.
