Face2Face
In the organizer's words:
Faces are omnipresent. We see them in newspapers and magazines, on advertising posters, in our Instagram feed or on TikTok. The face is an expression of personality. We learn to read faces and interpret looks as early as childhood. Not least in our digital world with Facebook and selfies, the face is the medium of expression, self-presentation and communication.
The "Face2Face" presentation is about seeing and being seen, about the interplay between one's own face and the face of the other - or one's own reflection. A face that is not seen by anyone does not exist. Because it is the reflection that makes the face.
Drawings, prints, photographs and posters from the Graphische Sammlung's rich collection show how our knowledge of facial expressions is shaped by artifacts: from the Renaissance to the present day, faces have been interpreted and explored in art. The portraits effortlessly bridge the time gap of centuries, depictions from the Romantic period appear as modern as if they were created today or vice versa.
