Book Talk:
23th March 6pm

After their successful “METROPOLIS, BERLIN” photo book – which received the Silver German Photo Book Award in 2021/22 – Barbara Wolff and Lunik Berlin Verlag are now presenting “NEW YORK, SIDEWALK CLOSED”. The book has a preface text by Daniel Blochwitz in EN and DE, who sets the stage for the images and gives context to Wolffs work and biography.

Barbara Wolff who left East-Germany in 1985 to work and live in Munich had visited New York for the first time in 1992. Back then she carried with her a Linhof Panorama camera with full gear and tripod. When Wolff came for the second time in 2023 she brought with her lighter and more concealable cameras allowing her to blend in with the crowds and snap candid images of the vibrant city. In summer 2023 Wolff spend a month in New York moving accommodation 4 times, in that time this book came to be.

With her images, the Berlin photographer Kate Schultze creates a map of the crime scenes where thirteen women were brutally murdered between 1975 and 1980 by a serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper.

The black and white photographs, in which people, but not their traces, are absent, also function as a map of everyday life in the English regions of Yorkshire and Greater Manchester where the victims lived. Schultze explored the crime scenes over the course of six months in 2021 in the cities and regions of and around Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Manchester.
