Demonstrators and combat ready police, ravaged buildings covered in graffiti, snarling or cringing dog, and people, baring their bodies.

Through expressive images Henrik Vering shows us a Berlin that lies far from the insolvent café backdrop that so many Danes flock to right now.

Henrik Vering unfolds what he describes as his auteur-photography, through two decades in Berlin.

In a narrative parallel to cinema and literature Henrik Vering introduces a Berlin that is invisible for most, a Berlin, which with it’s aggressiveness and Eros, riots and dances, presents the onlooker with a pulsing world inhabited by man and beast. It is the antithesis of the city.

Henrik Vering captures a fascinating reality that is constantly under change.

He photographs intense and sensuous momentary images that breathe in an eternal now.

Berlin is city and prey, mutually devouring, existing yet dependant on each other.

Henrik Vering was born in 1963 in Århus. He has exhibited in Denmark and Germany and has published several books. Henrik Vering is currently working a number of book projects including one on his hometown Århus that will be published later this year.

He lives and works in Copenhagen and affiliated to the photo-office BAM.

The book ”Berlin – Die Stadt und die beute”, published by Schöne-Bücher Verlag and with a preface by Rune Gade, will be released in connection with the opening of the exhibition.

Welcome to the opening of the exhibition and book release on Freday the 7th of March 2008 between 16-18 pm.


Henrik Vering will be present at the opening.

Opening hours: Tuesday-Sunday 13-17 pm.
