Special exhibition "aerial.couture: Photographies by Angelika von Braun"
at the Zeppelin-Museum Zeppelinheim until January, 31st 2027 Young women pose in preppy ensembles at the new "Rhein-Main Airport" in 1937 in front of and in front of the airship LZ 129 "Hindenburg" - just a few months before the accident in Lakehurst. Photographer Angelika von Braun's fashion range combines fashionable elegance with the technical lightness of the Zeppelin. Fashion photography in the 1930s is supported by a style that is based on Bauhaus and New Objectivity. The imagery is clear, there are no insignificant details. Journalistic images, portraits, fashion and travel are part of Braun's repertoire, at a time of social upheaval. Growing up in Frankfurt am Main, she experienced the conformity of the imperial era, the First World War and the rise of National Socialism. Coming from well-off parents' home, she graduated from high school and later decided to go into photography. Her own lifestyle, clothing, travel and hobbies correspond entirely to the image of the "New Woman," which was later rejected by the National Socialists. From 1931 to 1933 she studied in Munich at the Bavarian School of Photography and Research. Back in Frankfurt, she supplies various newspapers and magazines, including "Die Dame," a popular fashion and social magazine, a leader in the field of modern photojournalism. Angelika von Braun's photo series moves in the field of tension between individual freedom and ideological compulsion, against the backdrop of a technical myth that faces its replacement by the aircraft.
