Essen, Germany.- The Museum Folkswang is pleased to present "Man and His Objects : The Photographic Collection" on view at the museum from February 25th through April 29th. There is doubtless no other field of photographic practice as fascinating as the depiction of people. In them our history can be read at many levels: In individuals and types, we recognize social conventions and body language, we discover a bygone world of living beings and rituals and make guesses about the identity of the depicted and the individuality of the photographer when confronted with the stagings of various role plays. The exhibition "Man and His Objects" is not limited the portrait-makers’ ways of depiction since the 19th century. It also confronts those photographed with their world of objects, as witness to their everyday experience and as representative of human productivity.
