Ramona Schacht takes up Alfred Ehrhardt's industrial photographs for the tobacco company Reemtsma (1954–1963), alters them and questions the political and economic orders visible in them; living tobacco plants are also on display.
The Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung (foundation) was established in November 2002 by Dr. Jens Ehrhardt, the artist's son. It preserves the estate of Alfred Ehrhardt, an outstanding representative of the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) who worked as a photographer and culture film maker. The holdings include paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, negatives, films and documents.
The foundation researches the work scientifically and makes it accessible to a broad audience, among other things through retrospectives, publications and an archive. It also devotes itself to historical photographers in Ehrhardt's circle and, above all, to contemporary photography and media art.
The exhibitions are characterized by a dialogue approach: Ehrhardt's photographic and film art is confronted with current artistic positions that deal with “Nature” and the “Constructions of the Natural”. Talks, guided tours and events accompany the shows. Another location of the foundation is the Alfred Ehrhardt Haus in Triptis.
Admission is free.
