Having worked as a photojournalist for German media, Josephine Meckseper’s demonstration photos capture the cool neutrality of front-line reportage. Shot at a riot near the former GDR HQ, Untitled’s dramatic subject matter neither advocates nor denounces political concern. Photographing protesters, police, and bystanders participating in their expected roles, her images of violent unrest allude to a choreographed theatre, the readily identifiable aesthetics of protest culture transfiguring as stereotyped vogue. In Untitled, a shopping cart blazes against a crowd of cops and demonstrators, framing the iconography of anti-capitalist sentiment as implicitly commercialised fashion.
