We are delighted to invite you to our group exhibition marking the 10th anniversary of Galerie Springer Berlin. When we opened the gallery in its current format 10 years ago, it was founded on Robert Springer’s 20 years’ experience of gallery work stemming from a long family tradition. The decision to run the gallery with Heide Springer resulted in a reorientation of the gallery programme towards photography.

Over the past decade, we are proud to have made an international name for ourselves as a gallery in this diverse field. And alongside the necessary commercial focus, we have always placed great value on quality and curatorial concepts, and see our gallery work as a cultural task. Luck has also played a role in our on-going work in this direction and we are grateful for it.

For example, the area around our traditional location in Berlin-Charlottenburg has again developed into a much sought-after area for galleries. Important public and private institutions as well as photography galleries have since taken up residence close by, so that the area has become an attractive and recognised quarter for all interested parties.

Born in Iran in 1963, Sahihi lived in Germany from 1970 to 1987, where he completed his A-levels. He then moved to New York, where he lived for nearly 30 years. Sahihi worked as a photographer for leading magazines such as New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Vogue, Spiegel, Geo and Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin.

He became known to a broader public in 2001 when MoMa/PS1 exhibited his DRUG SERIES as a special exhibition. After moving to Berlin in 2013, he quickly became fascinated by the city. Its rapid development, dynamic pace, and the significant changes in the makeup of its population were the inspiration for his large-scale project DIE BERLINERIN.

The project consists of portraits of 375 women living in Berlin, produced from September 2013 to August 2015. He started by defining 35 categories according to age, origin, social class and profession. A questionnaire was developed for each woman to fill out. Sahihi was often only able to find the women that he had in mind for a given category after conducting a long and extensive search. He worked with a simple digital camera and natural light. The women were asked to choose the setting, clothing and expression – they staged themselves. The resulting portraits underwent minimal post-production and were not cropped.

Yet DIE BERLINERIN is not documentary photography but rather Sahihi’s artistic expression, his seeing eye. It is the quintessence of research, encounters, oftentimes long and in-depth discussions. The series reflects the personality of each woman, her cultural background, profession or vocation and gives small clues as to time and place.
Galerie Springer Berlin will present its own selection of portraits from November 2015 to February 2016 at the same time as the exhibition in the municipal GALERIE IM KÖRNERPARK, Berlin, where the complete series will be shown from October 2015 to January 2016.
