On vacation or while traveling – friends or landscapes – Katz photographs gnarled trees, into the abstract, Belgian motorways, reduced architecture or returns to a place over decades to photograph a slowly losing color and thus the story of the passing in quiet pictures to tell the time. Katz photographs hand-held, without artificial light, and captures the moment in a playful way.

The exhibition is sponsored by the association “321-2021: 1,700 Years of Jewish Life in Germany”, because Katz was born in Antwerp in 1939 as the son of Berlin of parents who fled the Nazis, but later studied art in Berlin and since 1976 has mainly worked as a freelance photographer Already during his studies he developed friendships with the artists, which he later knew how to put into the picture so well as a photographer.

Katz, who turns 82 on Monday, June 14, is also an eloquent narrator who has an anecdote to tell about almost every picture.

The exhibition will open on Sunday, June 13th, from 12 noon to 6 pm with a hybrid format. The artist and Marta director will be there, but there will be interviews, streams and videos on the museum’s various digital channels.

The exhibition can be seen until October 3rd at Marta Herford, Goebenstraße 2-10, Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
