18 APRIL – 16 AUGUST 2015 at MUSEUM KUNSTPALAST | DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY

Internationally renowned for his films (including Wings of Desire, Pina and The Salt of the Earth), Wim Wenders (b. Düsseldorf, 1945) considers photographic work to be the other half of his life.

On the occasion of Wenders’ 70th birthday, Museum Kunstpalast is presenting, in collaboration with the artist and the Wim Wenders Foundation, a selection of about 80 large-scale photographs—all analogue creations, made without artificial lighting or tripod.

Works on display include the artist’s early black-and-white photographs, his monumental landscape panorama pictures, his rarely shown photographs of “Ground Zero”, and new creations from the past year.
