CROWDS - A time travel to the 1980s and 1990s

The book CROWDS by Wolfgang Zurborn will be published in August 2026 by KEHRER Publishing House

During the coronavirus pandemic, I went through my photo archives from the 1980s and 1990s, scanned hundreds of analogue colour negatives, and developed the book and exhibition project CROWDS. The enforced break from an over-stimulated mass culture during the lockdowns allowed me to take an empathetic yet reflective look back at that era. My focus is on the individual, with all their social conditioning, collective ties and media influences. In my photographs, they do not lose themselves in the ornamentation of the crowd, nor do they appear as individuals detached from all context. In multi-layered colour photographs in the style of street photography, complex networks of relationships become visible among people in groups of all kinds, captured at events in the contexts of politics, sport, religion, tourism and entertainment.

CROWDS Funding

Signed copies of the book, a selection of 12 limited-edition prints (21 x 29 cm) and 3 exhibition prints 860 x 70 cm) and detailed information under this link: https://crowds.wolfgangzurborn.de/
