17 March – 6 April

Exhibition: Out of Berlin...passthepicture

The Annexe, Central Market

The exhibition will be opened on the 17 March at 7pm

It began with 10 foreign photographers who came together in Berlin for 10 days in September 2005 – one of them was Alex Moh from Malaysia. They were guests of the German Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut at the ‘Berlin Photography Festival 2005’. They spontaneously decided to produce their own exhibition in a round-robin-way – they called this project ‘Out of Berlin… passthepicture’!

The result is a unique collection of photos made by 50 photographers worldwide. Alex Moh is the curator and organizer of this exhibition.
