Artist portraits from the Millerntor Gallery #6

During the construction phase of the Millerntor Gallery #6, I also walked around with my Mamiya 645 and the 80/1.9 ​​(aka "medium format Noctilux") and was able to convince one or two artists to do a quick portrait. However, most of them were too stressed or creative that I didn't want to disturb them and so didn't even ask.

Unfortunately, there are too few of the artist portraits for the artist portraits to be considered a series. Fortunately, there have been too many of them not to be featured in this blog. In addition, some football fans will see some of the works for the first time on Saturday and it might be nice to see the people who have turned the walls of the Millerntor Stadium into art this season. All photos can of course be enlarged with one click.

The first picture shows the Sudanese painter Galal Yousif Goly in front of one of his two works that he donated to the main stand for the 2016/17 season.

The first mouth hole in the main stand has Kaspar Wyss designed.

Stefan from WEAR OFFICE OFFICE sits in front of the installation, which unfortunately can no longer be seen.

Also the sound installation by Sebastian Gabel can no longer echo through the main stand. A CIS might have been the wrong tone for a football game 😉

Hopefully over the next season we will be able to see the work of Björn Holzweg delight. It can be seen on the north side of the Millerntor. This is not the only reason why it is worth visiting the numerous football games in the Feldstrasse Arena.

“We all swim in the same water” is the title of the impressive work by Alice Pasquini in the media parking lot. Funny story: it wasn't until she was finished with the picture that someone told her that blue was supposed to be the color of another club near Hamburg. The Italian woman didn't know that, otherwise she would certainly have come up with a different image for this exposed area.

All artist portraits were photographed on Kodak T-Max 400 and in Sense HCD-80
