Marta Astfalck-Vietz : Staging the Self

Experimenting with light and shadow, multiple exposures, surrealist imagery, and role-play – this is the artistic terrain of Marta Astfalck-Vietz (1901–1994).

Her spellbinding photography from the 1920s stages bodies, interweaves pictorial planes, and exhibits dreamlike realities created through her own unique methods. Groundbreaking, innovative, fantastical – photos by an extraordinary artist of the Berlin avant-garde
