"My favorite thing that ever happens is when people tell me, ‘I had no idea about your work, I don’t really know your work, I’m not sure I even like your work – but it inspired me to go get a journal and start doing something.’ With that, for me, I’m done."
From 30 January 2025, Fotografiska Berlin invites you to step into the world of Frank Ockenfels 3. Renowned for his portraits of icons like George Clooney, Milla Jovovich, David Lynch, Nirvana and David Bowie, Ockenfels breaks traditional artistic rules by blending photography, collage, drawing, and journaling into a unique and layered style. At the heart of the exhibition is Ockenfels’ journal – a collection of collages, sketches and backward-written text.
