What happens when you invite the world’s most renowned avant-garde designers to showcase their talents in an exhibition without letting them show fashion? Art, naturally.

Beautiful Photography - ANNA KO

The berlin born and based photographerANNA KO studied photography at the famous art academy hochschule für buchkunst HGB in leipzig and graduated with a very important, critical work called “das bild des künstlers als junger mensch” (the image of the artist as a young person): she took a potrait of each student of her university, which means that she had 579 pictures at the end and presented them in the court of the school in a white cube. besides beeing an important historical document, this work discusses the lack of solidarity at the university and the fact that everybody stands and works alone without sharing ideas, art and life, not only in university, but in our society in general.
this idea seems to be her central theme in most of her works. always thoughtful and reflective anna ko documents young life and creates a personal and close image of the so called lost generation.
