We Were Never Here
Marina Mónaco offers visitors a fascinating insight into the multi-faceted world of the Neue Neue Deutsche Welle (NNDW), a scene that is constantly changing and reinventing itself.
With her unmistakable style, Marina Mónaco captures the dynamics and intimacy of this movement, from personal moments to intense performances on gloomy stages.
Her photographs portray teenagers in private spaces and capture the ups and downs of growing up. They evoke a nostalgic familiarity with feelings that seem universal yet remain difficult to grasp. Some of her documentary works border on staged reality, deliberately blurring the line between authenticity and staging.
This ambivalence is central to Mónaco's artistic expression:
she remains true to the reality of her subjects, even when she herself moves from silent observation to active participation. Her works are always deeply authentic and invite the viewer to immerse themselves in associative narratives.
