Edition № 006 feat. Yoshi Kametani, Robin Lopvet, Alexander Gehring

Edition № 006 combines the works of Yoshi Kametani (USA), Robin Lopvet (France) and Alexander Gehring (Germany). The editions of Der Greif are based on a cooperative principle between the submitting photographers and Der Greif, therefore all parties are compensated for each sold edition.

Based on the exhibition »A Process«, Der Greif presents high-quality limited editions featuring 18 international, selected photographers. These editions – showing new compositions and combinations – ask the viewer to reconsider rigid concepts of conventional photographic editions. De- and re-contextualization is core principle of Der Greif, setting images next to each other in order to establish powerful dialogues, allowing images to grow and creating new imaginary worlds.
