Photo culture as a burned, noble brainwash. If nothing else uses us…

The exhibition Cruel and Tender. Delicate and cruel — photography and the real is a community project of the Museum Ludwig, Koln, where it is currently visible, and the Tate Modern, London. There she has already received rough attempt by the mass audience, not least because of this exhibition, the photograph experienced its premiere as museum art genre in the Tate, although London is a photometropole long ago. In the Kolner exhibition, in which the audience with the main population of the pictures has also been familiar for a long time, the confrontation is increasing with the concept of "Real in the foreground".
