A joyful reunion is currently taking place at the Wittenbrink Gallery in Munich with the portrait photographs by Elisabeth Brockmann from her cycle "Glück" ("Happiness").
This was created in 2014, as a site-specific installation of large-format light boxes for the city of Friedberg near Augsburg. Now, finally, the artist has been able to bring herself to produce a more manageable version of some of these images ¬ after all, they were originally up to six meters high, which is an appropriate format for mounting in the belfry of a church tower, but is a poor fit for most people's living
