Based on historical photographs of Wilhelm Darges and Karl Dönitz standing before Adolf Hitler, Andreas Mühe restages their postures with two nude actors.
Without uniforms or insignia, their tense bodies show how power takes shape through learned gestures of discipline and submission—and how fragile its hierarchies can be.

Der Schornsteinfeger erinnert sich vor Gericht, wie er am Tag des Brandes zunächst der Angeklagten hinterherlief. Er wollte seinen Erinnerungen zufolge sicherstellen, dass ihr nichts Weiteres zustößt, verlor sie dann aber aus den Augen.  Auch Antje H., die Frau des Schornsteinfegers, begegnete der Angeklagten am 4. November 2011 in der Frühlingsstraße. "Was ist denn hier los", fragte die 40-Jährige ihrer Aussage zufolge die Angeklagte, als sie das Feuer im Nachbarhaus sah. Zschäpe habe sich dann für einen Moment umgedreht und so etwas wie "Ach, du Schreck" gesagt. Schließlich habe die Angeklagte sie gefragt, ob sie die zwei Körbe mit den Katzen bei ihr abstellen könne. Daraufhin habe sie der Angeklagten gesagt, dass sie auf die Katzen aufpassen werde. Zschäpe sei dann wieder zurück in Richtung des Hauses gegangen, sie habe die Angeklagte dann nicht mehr gesehen. Zschäpe stellte sich vier Tage später der Polizei.

Schwimmhalle, from the series: Olympisches Dorf, 2009 There hasn’t been any water in the swimming pool for a long time. Despite the large windows on both sides of the hall, we cannot see outside and thus cannot determine the location.
The image encompasses a void and a stillness that transcend the immediate. Yet there is also a strange beauty in this state of decay. Mühe alludes to times past—perhaps even memories—without imposing an interpretation. A void becomes palpable. For while a pool is generally associated with luxury, the obvious absence of water here suggests the exact opposite. And yes, in nature, in the earth, water is noticeably lacking this summer.

This makes me think of the doctor’s advice, “Drink plenty of fluids!”—admittedly, a somewhat erratic train of thought. But isn’t it an incredible blessing to be able to drink several liters of water a day? Carrying a water bottle with you at every opportunity has long been part of the urban lifestyle. These containers sometimes mutate into oversized status symbols—baby bottles for adults.
Extending this from the individual to the bigger picture: The distribution of water on our planet varies greatly and depends on many variables. Water flows, yet property rights over it are clearly defined. After all, national borders also run through oceans. But when it comes to who has the right to use a river, a strategically important strait, or even a temporary swimming pool in front of a theater—that’s where things get significantly more complex. And it can lead to very real, ideologically fueled conflicts—even war—whether in the Strait of Hormuz or on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin.
Water—beautiful, clear, clean water—is essential to life. For everyone. Do some people see the glass as half full, while others see it as half empty?(Dr. Kristina Schrei) #water #olympics #berlin #volksbühne @schierkeartists @mondlaneeduard by @andreasmuehe

Springer I, from the series Olympisches Dorf, 2009 The „Springer“ (high diver) is ready to take off. Andreas Mühe took this photo in the Olympic Village, which was built near Berlin for the 1936 Summer Olympics. The Nazis referred to it as the “Village of Peace,” even though they had planned its subsequent military use from the very beginning. After the war ended, the Soviet Army used the area. Parts of it have now been renovated into modern residential buildings. On one of the new facades, a quote from Jesse Owens—the most successful athlete of the 1936 Olympics—is displayed in large letters.

And the high diver? Where is he looking? And above all: What lies ahead of him? The frame of the image shows a grid of old light-blue tiles; a high barrel vault frames the scene from above. Otherwise, the space is kept understated in concrete gray.

The overall mood of society today seems, in many ways, just as bleak and unoptimistic. Every day, every hour, even every second (if you want to subject yourself to it), you can receive new reports of disasters from all over the world. Our times feel fast-paced, and the volume of data we’re confronted with is enormous. It’s all hard to cope with. Doom everywhere?

Apocalyptic scenarios have always been bestsellers. In the late 19th century, positive—even utopian—visions of the future were still in vogue. Then came the world wars and led humanity to the brink of the abyss. The fact that military language is once again increasingly finding its way into everyday civilian life is not a good sign. But perhaps it helps to remain a little level-headed ourselves. Take a deep breath, pause—and at the very least, hesitate before we plunge into the jargon of doom.

By the way, the Jesse Owens quote on the building’s wall reads: “We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come true, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” For Europeans, that might sound a bit cheesy. But surely one can still dream. After all, the end of the world hasn’t happened yet.

Sport, from the series Prora, 2004
Three young men in athletic wear, striking athletic poses. The well-defined muscles of their Adonis-like bodies are slightly tensed; their expressions say: They know what they’re doing. The sea they’re training for: a mere strip in the background.

The sun and summertime are once again drawing increased attention to the body—the physical form—best known as “beach body.” With the heat, more skin is on display on the streets. In Berlin, at least, the number of tattoos seems to have increased at least a thousandfold since last season. All in the spirit of individuality and uniqueness—so goes a frequently cited sociological analysis. But who isn’t tattooed these days?

Trends come and go, ideals endure. After all, Olympic athletes have been objects of desire—and thus of art—for nearly three millennia. The tales of Adonis and Narcissus also originate from antiquity. According to myth, both were particularly striking examples, at least in terms of their appearance. One falls victim to divine jealousy; the other falls in love—unhappily, even fatally—with his own reflection. Their beauty leads to a tragic end. And yet they live on in the flower genera named after them: the daffodil and the Adonis rose. Peak blooming season is currently over.

Dear F.C.,

Born on July 16, 1926, in Heinebach, Hesse: This combination of numbers and words sounds like something from another era. To me, you will always be connected to the city of Hamburg. And ever since you left this world, there have been hardly any reasons left for me to visit that city.

You, that great man, with the gold buttons on your jacket. I miss the visits to your home on Parkallee, the conversations by the grand window overlooking the garden, our discussions about photography, your references to art history, and your immediate requests to the foundation staff to please fetch a work from the archive.

Breakfast in your apartment at that little table, another view of the garden. The small kitchen, the many books, and wonderful art on the walls, that silently bore witness to your life and your collecting.

Then your final home—a top-class nursing home, more like a hotel with wonderful staff. The small exercise and activity groups there, which you didn’t want to join, a group lunch. All of that felt too foreign to you. The conversations grew fewer, and I simply sat with you and held your hand.

From the very beginning, my entire career was intertwined with yours. Karin Lisewski from the ifa Institute, a friend of my mother’s, had arranged an internship for me at your company, PPS (Professional Photo Service). In Berlin, PPS was located on Hirtenstraße, between the Berliner Verlag and Volksbühne. From then on, people always said, “He’s the boss’s guy.”

The rest is history. It was one of the greatest joys of my life to walk through the streets of New York with you in 2010 after my first exhibition at Camera Work Berlin and to eat oysters at Grand Central Station. You, the man of the world! Thank you.
Yours, Andreas

Maskenball II, 2026
Bellevue, “beautiful view”—that is the name of the palace where the Federal President resides and from which he is now moving out for an extended period. Andreas Mühe has staged the rooms at the moment of transition. The last traces of grandeur and symbols of power are still visible. First empty spaces are beginning to appear. In between, two masks have settled in leisurely, as if they amusedly want to comment on the events. Are they part of the inventory or uninvited guests?

In Venice, when it was still ruled by Doge and nobility, such masks with a protruding chin were part of the “bauta”: a costume consisting of a robe, a cloak, and a full-face mask that concealed the wearer’s identity. This disguise also offered even those well-known throughout the city moments of freedom—from expectations, affiliations, and constraints.

Compared to the Serenissima, Bellevue is young and part of a democratic state committed to the principle of proportionality. That makes the estimated renovation costs of at least 601 million € all the more surprising. As with the state itself, one hopes that only structural components are in disrepair here and that nothing worse is being concealed. Some government officials aren’t too fond of masks anyway.

So for the time being—for eight years, presumably—Bellevue won’t be welcoming any more guests. The little castle will resign itself to its life as construction site—a familiar fate in Germany. In the end, everything will look the same as before from the outside. But when the construction scaffolding comes down and the curtain rises again, who will move in here? (Dr. Kristina Schrei)
