Barbara Honrath talked about German contemporary photography after 1945 in Museum collections in numerous cities spread out in Germany. Also put photography into traditional painting genres into "portraits", "landscape", "architecture", "interior", and "still life", and showed works by Thomas Struth, Jitka Hanzlová, Simone Nieweg, Beate Gütschow, Thomas Florschuetz, Heidi Specker, Candida Höfer, Beatrice Minda, Christopher Muller, Stephaine Senge, Frank Breuer, Wolfram Hahn, Joachim Brohm, Peter Piller, and Jörg Sasse. I personally found the photos of Peter Piller most interesting, especially "More Beautiful from Above (2004)". The housing says a lot about a culture and the mass influence, etc. blah. yea. good talk, good introduction. a bit tiring though.
