ABOUT

Two Rivers. Joachim Brohm / Alec Soth is an exhibition catalog from an exhibition of the same name at the NRW Forum, Dusseldorf, 29 March – 7 July 2019.

Two Rivers presents Joachim Brohm’s photo series, Ruhr (1980 to 1983). As well as, Sleeping by the Mississippi (2000 to 2004) by Alec Soth. This is a special meeting of two important and influential contemporary photographers. Other work groups on view in the catalogue, such as Ohio, Dessau Files, and Culatra by Joachim Brohm; and Songbook and Niagara by Alec Soth, represent fictitious places and allow for a broader view of the oeuvres of the two photographers. Also featured in the book is Brohm’s portrait series Flash Ohio, which will be published for the first time exactly 35 years after its creation and occupies a special position in his oeuvre.
