Britta Burger Fashion & Photography

10 Feb-2 Apr 2015

Overview

As a photographer and journalist on the interface of art, subculture, social criticism and style Britta Burger approaches fashion photography as a balancing act between journalism and commerce. Fashion promotes constant change and creates a desire for the unnecessary, while Burger’s photography also explores the less marketable aspects of consumerism. Her fashion stories - all produced with a certain pressure to sell a magazine, product, or lifestyle - are shown alongside her documentary photography about people on the fringes of style, fashion and society. Sometimes the only difference is the context.
