In the 1990s, queer youth, outcasts and artists, flocked to San Francisco to find one another and to experiment with art, self-expression, style, and gender. Rent was affordable, paving the way for queer bars, clubs, tattoo shops, galleries, cafes, bookstores, and women-owned businesses to emerge. A new wave of feminism embraced gender bending, and butch/femme culture flourished. The Mission District was the center of this queer cultural renaissance, and the feeling of community was palpable. Chloe Sherman was both a member of this community and an ardent visual chronicler. Her documentary photographic work on 35mm film stems from a commitment to capturing the vibrancy, tenderness, individuality, resilience, and joy within this subculture that was derided by mainstream society. Distilling the spirit of the time, her debut monograph is a candid portrait of a vibrant era that connects current and future generations to the pulse of San Francisco at a pivotal chapter in queer history.CHLOE SHERMAN (*1969, New York City) arrived in San Francisco in 1991 and earned her BFA in Photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited internationally and featured in magazines such as Rolling Stone and Interview. Her documentary photography is deeply influenced by her fine arts training.

With 'In Camera' Christiaens juxtaposes her own relationship, her own identity and her own images with those of her parents. In doing so, she calls into question the traditional relationship between men and woman and between photographer and model, both over time and within her own family history. Gazes cross and are reflected within the image, outside the image and through the image. It's about different perspectives in different times, about similarities and differences. It's about looking at ourselves, our bodies, our loved ones and others trough the eye of the camera. About exploring the different layers and histories these gazes hold-the gaze of the loved one, the gaze of an artist, the reflected gaze in the mirror-and how they help shape our identity, both within ourselves and through the other. (Stefan Vanthuyne)

Das Museum Tinguely zeigt mit "Roger Ballen. Call of the Void" eine Ausstellung, die als achte Folge der Serie Danse macabre im Vorraum Bezug nimmt auf Jean Tinguelys Spätwerk "Mengele Totentanz" (Kehrer 2017). Dabei ist der Ansatzpunkt hier wieder ein anderer - während es bei "Anouk Kruithof. Universal Tongue" der Tanz oder bei "Bruce Conner. Light out of Darkness" die Apokalypse war, die den Anstoß zur Gegenüberstellung gab, ist es im Falle von Roger Ballen die verstörende, irritierende Stimmung seiner Fotografien und Installationen. Ballen hinterfragt in seinem Werk die menschliche Psyche und stellt sich selbst wie auch dem Betrachtenden Fragen nach dem Sein und dem Werden.Ballen schreibt dazu: «Meine Ausstellung, der ich bewusst den Titel "Call of the Void" (Ruf der Leere) gegeben habe, ist ein Versuch, sich mit den meiner Meinung nach zentralen Fragen der menschlichen Existenz auseinanderzusetzen: Woher kommen wir? Weshalb sind wir hier? Und wohin gehen wir, wenn wir sterben? Ich habe zwar keineswegs den Anspruch, mit Antworten oder auch nur Fragen auf diese tiefgreifenden und schwierigen Themen dienen zu können. Ich hoffe aber, dass meine Ausstellung die Wahrnehmung des Betrachters herausfordern und somit einen Prozess der Selbsterkundung in Gang setzen wird, der mit einer Hinterfragung des Selbstverständnisses verbunden ist».Die Ausstellung besteht aus zwei Teilen, die sich aber gegenseitig bedingen und befruchten. Einerseits hängen an den Wänden Fotografien aus den letzten analog aufgenommenen Serien Ballens Asylum of the Birds und Roger's Rats, und andererseits wird das Zentrum des Raumes von einer Hütte beherrscht, eine ärmliche Behausung von Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft, wie sie oft in Roger Ballens Werk vorkommen.
