From December 7 to March 30, 2025, the Roschlaub Gallery at Mittelweg 21 will present the three exciting artists in a "Christmas exhibition."

Including a double premiere: For the first time, works by Elsa Gárate are being shown – painted portraits, a genre that gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub has never shown before. Through nuances in facial expressions and gestures, the Spaniard succeeds in creating an emotional diversity that invites viewers to bring their own feelings and interpretations into the work. Press photographer Jochen Blume (1925-2018) also captured emotions, for example, in the face of JF Kennedy during his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1963. The photo went around the world. It's not his only iconic photograph. Willy Brandt at Checkpoint Charlie is also one of them. The "pensive" photo of Tegel Airport shown here was not printed at the time – people wanted to see a different staging of June 26, 1963. Josef Fischnaller creates photographs, but of a completely different kind. The Austrian is particularly known for his elaborate re-stagings of famous Renaissance and Baroque paintings.

The elaborate costumes, made from materials that he removes from their original context, form a subtext that questions visual memory with subtle irony.
