William Eggleston at C/O Berlin in 2023

Berlin based pho­tog­ra­phy gallery C/O Berlin will open the exhi­bi­tion year 2023 with a William Eggle­ston exhi­bi­tion, from Jan­u­ary 28 to May 4, 202. The title will be “Mys­tery of the Ordi­nary”. “How do we per­ceive the world, and what would it be with­out col­or?” will the exhi­bi­tion ask. It’s all about col­or in pho­tog­ra­phy which is not too long accept­ed in art pho­tog­ra­phy. Eggle­ston, togeth­er with Saul Leit­er and oth­ers, was on of the first bring­ing col­or into the cen­ter of art pho­tog­ra­phy. “Ear­ly on, Eggle­ston rec­og­nized the dis­tinc­tive pow­er and unique com­po­si­tion­al pos­si­bil­i­ties that nuanced col­or offered for cap­tur­ing entire visu­al worlds. Like no oth­er pho­tog­ra­ph­er, he imbued the every­day with mys­tery: col­or simul­ta­ne­ous­ly became an ele­ment and a chance to pen­e­trate and scru­ti­nize real­i­ty”, writes C/O Berlin, announc­ing the new exhi­bi­tion. Oth­er high­lights of C/O Berlin in 2023 will be exhi­bi­tions with Daidō Moriya­ma, Jochen Lem­pert, and Mary Ellen Mark.
