Very much looking forward to the WERKSTATT: group show “Pause”, opening on Thursday, May 28, 2026, 7 pm at Flutgraben e. V. in Berlin’s district Alt-Treptow!

“Pause” marks a conclusion of photography projects made during the WERKSTATT: 9 Month Program taught by Magnum photographer, Mark Power, in Berlin.

Projects convey a diversity of subject matter and all share a raw and unfiltered aesthetic quality pertaining towards lyrical, conceptual and socially engaged documentary photography.

Mark Power will exhibit “The Wall is Gone!” photographs he took in 1989 the day the Berlin Wall came down. This is the first time this project has been exhibited.

Today we’re pleased to present an interview between Jon Feinstein (@jonfeinstein) and Ben Alper (@benalper).

“For the two decades I’ve known him, Ben Alper has made work about layering, wandering, and reimagination,” says Feinstein at the link in bio. “From digitally altering and erasing scanned family photos to compositing the same urban landscape multiple times, his art is often about the fragmented ways we remember personal and collective history.”

🗓️ Alper’s latest exhibition, Memory Place, is on view at Seasons LA through Feb 15.

“At its core, the project operates as a memory palace. Each photograph preserves an encounter, a residue of lived moments layered in the mind like the histories buried beneath Rome’s ancient streets, momentarily fixed before returning to the flow of history and memory.”
