1st Edition

“Waffenruhe” (Ceasefire). Michael Schmidt was a major figure in post war German photography. He established the, "Werkstatt für Photography” (Photography Workshops) in 1976. These workshops facilitated and important cross fertilisation of ideas between invited guests/participants from Europe and the USA. Included amongst these were photographers like John Gossage, Stephen Shore and Paul Graham. 

In Waffenruhe we can see Schmidt working towards a more metaphoric/symbolic photographic language as he deals with the psychological impact of living in the then divided city of Berlin.

“It became less a question of delivering a precise description than of communicating a feeling,” said Schmidt.
