Anna et Bernhard Blume

Born in 1937, they live and work in Cologne (Germany).

Since the 1970s, the Blumes have portrayed themselves in their photographs as the embodiment of the German petty bourgeoisie, dealing with a hysterical reality in which everyday objects come to life, in an ironic approach to the romantic notion of transcendental art.

A set of previously unpublished works, 50 collages-Polaroid from the series Prinzip Grausamkeit (Principle of Cruelty), 1996-1998, in which the Blumes push their fantasy to the limit, is exhibited in Cahors.
