Intro
We are delighted to present the publication Being a Photograph by Susanne Kriemann in Berlin on Friday, July 4, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. The book will be introduced in a conversation between the artist, designer James Langdon, and Lisa Rosendahl, one of its authors.
The English-language reader proposes a shift from the noun “photography” to an active form and focuses on photography as a figure of thought in order to explore the idea of an animated language. Against this backdrop, Being a Photograph assembles texts by authors who offer a further frame of reference for Susanne Kriemann’s work: Siobhan Angus, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Zippora Elders, Daisy Hildyard, Bhanu Kapil, Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou, and Lisa Rosendahl.
You are also invited to browse through the current issue of our magazine, Camera Austria International no. 170, on this evening.
