DFA Podcast #21 | A photographic career in trousers - the New Woman in Argentina
Buenos Aires
A photographic career in trousers - the New Woman in ArgentinaThe photographer Annemarie Heinrich (1912-2005) emigrated from Berlin to Argentina at the age of 14. Almost out of nowhere, she launched an important career in the 1930s with great artistic talent and Prussian discipline. Annemarie Heinrich and her female collaborators always wore trousers, Heinrich photographed female nudes and focused on women's work. In a society dominated by machismo, she was referred to as the photo feminist.
In the mid-1950s she became a member of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbildner (Society of German Photographers), and in Argentina she gave photography a lasting impetus through her broad commitment, among other things as a member of La Carpeta de los Diez.
Lutz Matschke and Renata Jonic tell of the career of a self-confident photographer with high standards, retouching with razor blades, forbidden photos of Eva Perón and night shifts for the whole family.
Together with Annemarie Heinrich's children, they are both working on a retrospective of the photographer that will be shown in Germany in 2024: Exhibition at the Willy Brandt Haus Berlin from 18 July to 29 September 2024.
