In 1974, Axel M. Mosler, then a 21-year-old photography student, met Salvador Dalí at his home in Port Lligat and captured the artist in an extraordinary series of portraits. More than 50 years later, the long-hidden photographs have been rediscovered. Mosler recounts this special encounter on WDR.
Who was Dr Otto Lossen, whose photographs of the Weissenhof Estate became world-famous yet whose life was shrouded in mystery for many years? Wolfram Janzer and Inken Gaukel shine a spotlight on his work, which covered photochemistry, architectural photography, and the conservation of historic buildings.

The DFA regularly invites international guest curators to select from the entire pool of members’ works. This selection is evaluated by the guest curator and publicly made available on the Academy's website. For contemporary photographers, new avenues of public interest can be opened up in this way, including opportunities for their work to become the subject of current public debates.
