Herlinde Koelbl: Angela Merkel
Porträts 1991–2021
Herlinde Koelbl took twenty-three portraits of Angela Merkel. The setting was always the same: a white wall, a chair, and no instructions from the photographer. The photos document Angela Merkel’s ascent from ‘Kohl’s girl’ to the world’s most powerful female head of government.
Herlinde Koelbl combined the sittings with deep conversations which allowed her to get unusually close to the person Angela Merkel. The photographs are accompanied by quotations from Merkel. First she thought the questions were “incredibly irritating”. “But then I noticed that suddenly I would ask myself: Was Mrs Koelbl actually here already this year?”*.
Herlinde Koelbl’s Merkel portraits are a continuation of her long-term study Traces of Power–for this project she took photographs of famous politicians–and a journey through the era Angela Merkel.
