The fifth Photography Triennial of Hamburg closed its doors today. The festival, which started in 1999, dedicated this year’s edition to the ties that bind cinema and photography. It is in this context that this German city transforms into a veritable “Photography Capital” with more than 30 exhibitions in museums and galleries featuring diverse themes, in addition to various projections, conferences, workshops and demonstrations by photographers and, for this edition, cameramen. Among the essential elements: a vast historic portrait of the 20th century featuring works by August Sander, Diane Arbus, Rebecca Horn, or Nan Goldin among others at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe; photos by the sisters Gisela Getty and Jutta Winkelmann at the Deichtorhallen and individual exhibitions by Steve McCurry, Simon Roberts and Rob Hornstra in galleries across the city.
