The Exotic Country

Germany might not be the first country that springs to mind when the adjective ‘exotic’ is used, but there are plenty of corners of this magnificent country that are full of intrigue. Photo reporter Stefan Moses has long known this, and some of his finest post-World War II snaps are up for appreciation in this exhibition at the DHM. Moses was one of Germany’s great post-war photographers, and much of his quality came down to his use of a consistent technique. Moses always photographed his subjects in the open air in front of a grey cloth, which gave his work a sense of continuity and story without extra effort being required. He travelled and worked all over the world, but it is his captivating snapshots of everyday life in the Federal Republic of Germany that mark his most exotic work. English-language guided tours of the exhibition will take place every Monday at 13:00.
