Böhm #57 – Unreal Estates

Robert Schlotter — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:04:05 +0000

Die Böhm is a fanzine published by Katja Stuke & Oliver Sieber since 1999. Each issue is the juxtaposition of two different bodies of work, one each by Stuke and Sieber, under a single collective title.

Both photographers are concerned primarily with issues surrounding portraiture, the mediated image, the expressions of self-identity influenced by popular culture, in particular youth sub-cultures — Darius Himes, Photobookreview 2012

Die Böhm is published once or twice a year.

Böhm #55, Böhm #56 and Böhm #57 are created with images taken by Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber in and around Cervia (Italy) during their residency at Note di Sguardi (Giovanna Sarti) in 2023.

Sakae Osugi

Robert Schlotter — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 14:23:34 +0000

Sakae Ōsugi (*1885, †1923) was a Japanese anarchist. He traveled to Europe in 1923 and gave a May Day speech in Saint-Denis. There he was arrested by civilian police. He was sentenced to three weeks in prison and deportation for passport offences. On 2 June he was sent back to Japan where he later was murdered in the »Amakasu Incident«. In his book »My escapes from Japan« he mentiones a »workers’ hall« near the Basilica in Saint-Denis. Most likely he refers to the »Bourse du Travail« of Saint-Denis which was located in the Hotel de Ville at that time. In Feb 2023, almost 100 years after Sakae Ōsugi’s experiences in Saint-Denis, Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber walked from Hotel de Ville past Passage Saulger, rue des Ursulines and rue Suger until they finally reached Rue Génin, where you find the current Bourse du Travail«. Marie Tesson, the author of the text, constructed an itinerary, taking as her starting point the building where Stuke and Sieber ended their walk: the Bourse du Travail in Saint-Denis. She wanders through this area that is undergoing transformation until reaching the Tour Pleyel, attracted by the melancholy of its already outdated architecture.

Paris, 8 Dec 2018 — La Ville Lumière

“Oliver Sieber and Katja Stuke […] are not permanent fixtures in this society: however, as resident artists at the Cité internationale des arts, they were confronted with the first “acts” of the yellow vest movement. In this sense, they are distanced observers and do not take sides, although they are not indifferent: they observe how the conflict writes itself into the city’s narrative. Their route follows and intersects with that of the actors involved that day, leading them along Rue de Rivoli, past the Louvre to La Madeleine, on to Gare Saint-Lazare, past the Métro Liège to the Galleries Lafayette, along Boulevard Haussmann to Place de la République, and at night back to the Bastille and the Cité des arts. Their perspectives keep shifting between the side of the road and the middle of the street, locating the actors—in the midst of all the activity on the street—in relation to the setting, recording the lesser defilements as well as the greater devastation, individual passersby being checked by plainclothes police officers and the wholesale deployment of the security forces. Their 113 photographs depict nothing more and nothing less than six hours of a day of protest, one act in this social drama, one more dies irae for French society, of which there have been an abundance recently, from the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks to the general strike and the demonstrations against police brutality. They capture the visible configurations of a social protest, whose political rhetoric remains unclear, and are thus equally eloquent as an account of the social fault lines within society.

The portraits of athletes were taken during the Olympic Games among others in Sydney (2000), Athens (2004), Beijing (2008) and London (2012) photographed from a television screen. The singular Olympic Games idea, the particular competition situation directly before the decisive sporting performance, the moment of concentration and the question of the identity and development of… Continue reading Supernatural 2021
