Curatorial context

OstLicht Gallery hosted an extensive exhibition of Bryan Adams' photographic works, highlighting his parallel international success as a photographer alongside his rock music career. The exhibition showcased intimate and intense portraits of numerous celebrities and icons from the music, film, and celebrity scenes, including Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger, and Queen Elizabeth II. Many of these were taken for _Zoo_ Magazine, which Adams founded, playing with clichés of celebrity representation and reflecting a deep interest in people. In addition to celebrity subjects, the exhibition also featured an important series dedicated to injured British soldiers who returned from missions in Afghanistan or Iraq. These direct, provocative photographs conveyed an optimistic, humorous, and sometimes unsettling mood, capturing the pride, humor, and will to live of these servicemen while demonstrating the legacy of war and a commitment to freedom. The exhibition was curated by Anke Degenhard and Mat Humphrey. Photographs were available for sale as archival pigment prints in limited editions.
