Instant theory

The M photo series from Merve Verlag.

The 1980s saw the emergence of a boundless interest in philosophical, aesthetic and emancipatory theory. At this time, the West Berlin publisher Merve was a meeting place for intellectual and artistic exchange. This network was documented by the publishers Heidi Paris and Peter Gente in many spontaneous photographs.

The exhibition was on display at nGbK Berlin from 22 February 2020 to 3 August 2020.
