Pierre Verger
Presented for the first time in Germany will be more than 300 photographs of the internationally-recognized photographer and forerunner of visual anthropology.
As a photojournalist, Pierre Verger (* 1902, Paris, + 1996, Salvador da Bahia) traveled the five continents and left behind an archive of circa 62,000 negatives. It was in the year 1946 that he first went to Salvador de Bahía, henceforth his second home; and alongside his numerous travelogues about Africa, he captured the life of this uncrowned capital of Afro-Brazilian arts and culture (with over 3,000 places of worship) in riveting photographs.
