The theme of the 4th Month of Photography Berlin points to the decisive influence that the medium of photography (and along with it, more recent graphic media as well) has had on the modern age, from industrialisation right up to the present day. Not only did Modernism give birth to photography – photography also, in a reversal of roles, made an active contribution to the dissemination and strengthening of certain aspects of Modernism. This connection between photography and modernisation has been chosen as a leitmotif, with reference to four selected fields:
- Life and lifestyle in the big city (urbanisation and ‘street photography’)
- Fashion photography
- Photography and science
- New pictorial worlds, new techniques.
