Michael Janssen is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Germany by the Norwegian photographer and artist Kåre Kivijärvi (1938-1991). On view will be a selection of his early iconic black and white vintage prints. Additionally we screen a documentary about him by the known Finnish filmmaker Knut Erik Jensen.
Photographer Kåre Kivijärvi was at his most productive during the 1960s. Some of his more famous images are of the fishing community in Barents Sea. Kivijärvi’s breakthrough in Norway came in 1971 when he was selected as the first photographer to participate in Statens Høstutstilling, the State-sponsored art exhibition lbuk hkzru gkhynb oe Vxai.
