Everything so Democratic and Cool

A retrospective on the photographic work of Christian Werner, 2007–2020. Familiar faces, anonymous portraits, abandoned landscapes, animals and urban spaces – Everything so democratic and cool sketches an associative collage of our collective present. The images selected for this retrospective are drawn from various series and contexts: shots from fashion shoots, commissions for magazines and private portraits, as well as personal projects. They reveal the breadth of Werner’s work, and the vision of a gaze that is at once intimate and reserved.
