Michel Auder: Iconography, Storytelling, Myth, Irony, Archive – Michel Auder 2021
Auder’s image creation is closely related to his life. At the close of the 1960s, he settled in New York from Paris and started carrying a portable camera with him. Over the years, he has used Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm cameras to record people and events in his life through a personal and subjective lens. Daily trivialities and historical highlights are exposed in his image records. This exhibition presents the relationship between Viva, Andy Warhol, and Martin Kippenberger through Auder’s lenses. Interactions with close friends, actors, and artists such as Cindy Sherman and Candy Darling show viewers that Auder’s documentary style is different than what is used in general movie production.
