Invitation to a farewell event as part of ‘Talk Photography’

Dear photography enthusiasts,

Since 2008, I have had the privilege of creating a platform for dialogue, exchange and contributions to photography with the ‘Talk Photography’ series. Many of you have been with me on this journey from the very beginning – thank you very much for that!

Now I invite you to join me in bidding farewell to my work:

📅 Sunday, 5 October 2025

🕒 11:00 a.m.

📍 Location: Museum Weltkulturen D5, Anna-Reiß-Saal, 68159 Mannheim

Admission: 3 euros

Speaker: Mayor Thorsten Riehle, Head of the Department of Economic Affairs, Labour, Social Affairs and Culture.

Lecture with Prof. Dr. Claude W. Sui on Robert Häusser – A warning against totalitarianism

This time, the talk will focus entirely on Robert Häusser, whose work has always been particularly close to my heart.

The question of human existence, of the span between life and death, runs through all phases of Robert Häusser's photographic work. Another theme that recurs in Häusser's images in various forms is his critical examination of the phenomenon of dictatorship in Italy and Germany and the fascism of the Nazi era. In Häusser's significant pictorial compositions, series of works and individual images coalesce into a historical warning against totalitarianism.

Following the event, I am delighted to invite you all to a cosy get-together in the foyer, where drinks and delicious Indian bread confectionery – Namak Para – will be served.
