OstLicht Gallery, in collaboration with Leica Camera AG, presented "Flash / Ascension," an exhibition highlighting the photographic work of musician Lenny Kravitz and photographer Mathieu Bitton. Lenny Kravitz's "Flash" presented a selection of 50 works where he turned his Leica camera onto the reporters and fans that constantly surround him, capturing the repetitive ritual of being the focus of attention in laconic black and white images. The parallel exhibition, "Ascension" by Mathieu Bitton, a long-time collaborator, explored new facets of life within the rock music circus. Bitton's photographs, exhibited for the first time as part of "Flash," captured both grand stage moments and quiet hours between concerts during Kravitz's world tours. The photographs from "Flash" were available for sale as archival pigment prints in a limited edition. The exhibition opening was attended by Lenny Kravitz, Mathieu Bitton, and Peter Coeln (OstLicht/WestLicht), with various press images capturing the event.
