BlottoBooks Berlin and ParisBerlin›Fotogroup present a group exhibition featuring works by Linn Schröder and Anne Schönharting, Vincent Kohlbecher, and Andreas Trogisch.
The series « Something Is Shifting » (Schröder/Schönharting), « On Circular Arc Phenomena » (Kohlbecher), and « Talking About Trees » (Trogisch) revolve around reality and imagination, historical reflection and visionary outlooks—and, ultimately, our failure to fully comprehend the world. The quest for certainty breeds hubris: the fatal belief that one can master the incomprehensible. The works speak of the proximity of the abyss and the ceaseless attempt to resist it.
Vincent Kohlbecher’s work is being published by BlottoBooks under the title A More Or Less Visual Companion of Mr. P.’s Fairy Tale On Circular Arc Phenomena. An advance copy was presented at the exhibition.
BlottoBooks is once again participating in the Rencontres de la photographie in Arles.
From 6–10 July, we will present recent work by Linn Schröder & Anne Schönharting, Vincent Kohlbecher, and Andreas Trogisch at Casa dell’Arte.
Vincent Kohlbecher will present photographs from his series A More or Less Visual Companion of Mr. P.’s Fairy Tale on Circular Arc Phenomena. The accompanying book will be published by BlottoBooks in August; an advance copy will already be on view in Arles.

Vincent Kohlbecher traces the path of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Gravity’s Rainbow. The photographs coalesce into a fantastic artistic achievement—a visual echo of one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic novels. As in Pynchon’s work, facts, projections, and fictions overlap; the impression remains ambivalent, and reality fragile.
Kohlbecher travels to England, the Côte d’Azur, across Germany, to Poland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. His journey continues to Namibia, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan, and through South America all the way to Hollywood. The result is a multi-layered, surreal-seeming sequence of images.
The series is published by BlottoBooks under the title A More Or Less Visual Companion of Mr. P.’s Fairy Tale On Circular Arc Phenomena by Vincent Kohlbecher.
Nach einiger Wartezeit ist jetzt die zweite Auflage des Buchs erschienen – eigentlich eine ziemliche Seltenheit bei Fotobüchern. Jetzt sogar besser als die erste Auflage, denn es gibt speziell für das fotointeressierte Publikum in Frankreich eine französisch/englische Ausgabe, während der Rest der Welt die englisch/deutsche Ausgabe bekommt. Was für ein Luxus. Beim Bestellen also darauf achten, welche Sprachkombi man haben möchte.
As part of the exhibition 'Berliner Mischpoke', our publisher Blotto Books is presenting the second edition of Holger Biermann's New York book 'Leaving zToday' about September 11, 2001, which was shortlisted for the Luma Dummy Award last summer and whose first edition sold out within three months.
In this exhibition, Galerie Franzkowiak presents works by ParisBerlin›Fotogroup members Holger Biermann, Angelika Platen, Sebastian Rosenberg, and Andreas Trogisch alongside images by Rallye Vincent and Heike Grebin. The themes range from street photography to portraits, from music to magic, from representational to abstract. Distant yet related—a true mishmash.
The exhibition is part of the Festival OFF Arles 2025 (Gallery Nr. 52).
