Wish This Was Real
"Wish This Was Real", Tyler Mitchell’s first solo exhibition in Germany showcases a decades worth of the esteemed American photographer’s fantastical work. Inspired by Antwaun Sargent’s iconic exhibition The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion, Mitchell’s photo explores the simplicity of everyday life through an extramundane lens.
C/O Berlin Foundation, Hardenbergstraße 22–24,10623, Berlin, Germany, Runs through September 5, 2024.
Exhibition Description
"The exhibition covers nearly ten years of Mitchell’s dynamic artistic practice in photography and video, demonstrating the influence of the “New Black Vanguard,” which American writer Antwaun Sargent describes as the proliferation of images by Black photographers who work between the genres of art and fashion. Considered in three thematic sections that follow different motifs, and featuring his newest works printed on fabric and mirrors, the exhibition encapsulates Mitchell’s diverse explorations of portraiture, nature, and social memory. “I hope there is an honest gaze to my photos,” Mitchell says."
