in limbo – Straßenfotografie von Fabian Schreyer

10.03.–07.05.2023 im Café und Liebertzimmer des Schaezlerpalais 
Vernissage: 10.3., 18 Uhr, Schaezlerpalais 

Die Straßenfotografie steckt in einem Dilemma: Während die einen freimütig ihr Privatleben im Netz teilen, teilen andere Ängste vor Big Data, Überwachungsstaat und dem Verlust eigener Deutungshoheit. Was bedeutet dieser Spagat für eine Kunstform, die unsere Gegenwart für zukünftige Generationen erlebbar macht? Dieser Frage geht der Augsburger Fotokünstler Fabian Schreyer in seiner Serie "in limbo" nach. Diese reflektiert jenen Schwebezustand, in dem zeitgenössische Straßenfotografie vielerorts stattfindet.

On Nov. 15th my new solo exhibition „Mein lieber Schwan!“ kicks off at ANNA Café Augsburg. The project evolved during the pandemic, as a result of the winter lockdown. For several weeks I photographed swans at lake Kuhsee in Augsburg/Germany. „Mein lieber Schwan!“ transcends the idea of classic animal photography and merges it with the approach of a street photographer. The result is a set of imaginative, unusual compositions with a pinch of humour.

Ab dem 15. November 2020 zeige ich unter dem Titel „Mein lieber Schwan!“ bereits zum sechsten Mal Aufnahmen im ANNA Café in Augsburg. Als pandemiekonformes Winter-Lockdown-Projekt entstanden diese über mehrere Monate hinweg am Augsburger Kuhsee. „Mein lieber Schwan!“ transzendiert klassische Tierfotografie. Aus der Perspektive eines Straßenfotografen entstehen fantasievolle Momentaufnahmen von Schwänen, die durch Komposition und Komik überraschen und zum Schmunzeln anregen.

Die Ausstellung im Gastraum des ANNA Cafés kann zum 13. Februar 2021 zu den Öffnungszeiten besichtigt werden. www.fabianschreyer.de.

I‘m delighted to be featured as an "INTERNATIONAL ARTIST DIGITAL" during this year‘s edition of The Kolkata International Photo Festival / KIPF in India. A series of my photographs will be on display on huge screens in various venues of the festival - f. e. the Emami Art - Kolkata Centre for Creativity.

About KIPF:

"Kolkata, with her rich history of art, culture, politics and persona has been a photographer’s Mecca not for decades, but two whole centuries. Myriads of lensmen around the world have been drawn to this city for its heady mix of tradition and expression. ​
With that in mind, Kolkata is all set to house the largest repertoire of works from the heart of Europe to the end of Africa at the Kolkata International Photography Festival 2019 to celebrate the entire photographic community in its whole – the amateurs, the enthusiasts, the professionals, the critiques - to represent photography as an art form.
For the first time ever, under the aegis of Maya Arts studio, this 7 day festival shall bear witness to the works of the world's greatest masters –some never-seen-before photographs celebrating Kolkata and its craft of visual storytelling. ​ Starting February 28th, 2019, KIPF looks forward to being a first of its kind and intends to give the veterans their due and serve as a networking ground for both national and international talent. See you there!"
