Photo exhibition Hotel Germany - A journey without return

 

Kurt Beck calls Mehmet Ünal -

Witness of a time period and Seismograph

 

As a witness of a time period and a seismograph,

who wants to suggestive awareness , Mr. Beck

denotes the photographer Mehmet Ünal.

During the opening of Ünals photo exhibition-

Hotel Germany-A journey without return- at the

Mainz city hall Mr. Beck said that Ünals approach

is like an unobtrusive observer. By viewing at the

photos of turkish fellow citizens in Germany you

can feel the photographers realationship to the

humans.

Ünal is a picture finder, who does not run behind

the motive. Without Regardless of mainstream

and pressbox- he retains without teleobjetive

with only a 50-milimeter-Objektive and therefore

only with his eyes, scenes and portraits,

that have a great validity and impressiveness.

Unal belongs to- so said the Prime minister-not

to the motorrised experts, that like hunters, that

encircle their motive and in the decisive moment

they push the release.

None of Ünals photos, to whom Kurt Beck feels

conflated , hurts the human dignity.

On none the the photos the phases are

mountebanked pilloried.

The photos of Mehmet Ünal who knows the

turkish fellow citizens in this country very well,

are for the Prime Minister deeply social, but not

in the sense of a documentation of social

circumstances, but in a sort of literal sense

of an associate member of connectivity and

with respect of the people, that forbids any

sort of pushing curiosity.
