Ins Wort gesetzt (put into words) – contemporary poetry on the photographs by Robert Häusser

Robert Häusser is regarded as a philosopher among photographers. The concept of the exhibition is unusual in that it combines photography and poetry: 37 renowned poets from different generations have composed a poem on one of the photographs of Robert Häusser’s oeuvre. They each chose a particular motif as a template for their poetic rendition. The photograph and poem are juxtaposed and profoundly interact each other. The exhibition was designed by the Forum Internationale Photographie at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums in Mannheim
