Helmut Newton Foundation launches immersive film installation in Berlin
The Museum for Photography in Berlin is revamping its ground floor exhibition area at the Helmut Newton Foundation, introducing an engaging cinematic experience. After more than two decades of showcasing "Helmut Newton’s Private Property," the foundation is refreshing its display while still aiming to highlight the lives of Helmut Newton and his spouse, June. As part of this transition, visitors can enjoy a cinematic Intermezzo that immerses them in Helmut Newton's world. Utilizing eight video projectors, a film is displayed across four screens, drawing inspiration from a film portrait made three years prior. Additionally, the first floor will host temporary exhibitions that will explore the works of Helmut Newton and Alice Springs through alternating solo and group shows twice a year.
