European Photography, based in Berlin, is an independent art magazine for international contemporary photography and new media.[1] It was founded and is published by the German artist Andreas Müller-Pohle.

History

European Photography first appeared in 1980 as a quarterly magazine in German and English.[2] Each issue focused on one particular theme and also reported on international photo initiatives, exhibitions, and book publications.[3] It drew on an international network of photographers, critics, and curators. Only the first few issues were restricted to European themes; according to Müller-Pohle, by 1985 at the latest, "the magazine title had changed [...] from the literal to the metaphorical: Europe meaning transnationalism, pluralism, diversity."[4]

In addition to presenting current photographic positions,[5] the magazine has played a decisive role in the theoretical and programmatic debate on the medium of photography and has had a lasting influence on this.[2][6] Alongside Andreas Müller-Pohle, important authors have included Jean-Claude Lemagny, Derek Bennett, Boris Groys, Hubertus von Amelunxen, and Vilém Flusser.[7]

In 1982, the European Photo Galleries Guide was published, of which seven further updated and successively expanded editions under the title European Photography Guide followed through 2003.[8] The editors described the eighth and final edition – the collaborative effort of over forty correspondents in thirty-four countries – as "the most comprehensive reference work on the photography-and-art scene in Europe ever published."[9]

In 1983, the first theoretical book publication was the essay Für eine Philosophie der Fotografie by the media and cultural philosopher Vilém Flusser, whom Andreas Müller-Pohle had met two years earlier at a symposium in Düsseldorf and who subsequently became a regular columnist for the magazine.[10][11].An English translation was published in 1984 under the title Towards a Philosophy of Photography. Flusser's collaboration with European Photography continued on various levels until his death in 1991, most importantly as a columnist for the magazine ("Reflections") and as author of the ten-volume Edition Flusser published by Müller-Pohle.[12]

Also in 1983, European Photography took over the magazine Print Letter,[13] which had been founded in 1976 by Marco Misani in Zurich and was aimed at galleries, museums, and collectors.[14] It was continued in European Photography until 1989 as a separate section of the magazine and was last mentioned in the imprint in 1995.

In 1993, European Photography changed its publication frequency from quarterly to bi-annual, with a new format (24 x 30 cm) and page count (84).

In 2004, the publishing house moved from Göttingen to Berlin.

Academic resource

European Photography is held in a number of university libraries internationally and is recommended reading for photography and visual culture courses.[15][16]

Ethos

European Photography contributed significantly to the theoretical debate about photography and new media and published programmatic texts early on, for example on Visualism[17] and emerging digital photography.[18] While initially focusing on young European photography, it soon turned to non-European developments as well, for example separately covering Australian[19] and North American photography in two editions in 1985 (issues 23 and 24).[20] In the years that followed, the magazine regularly featured photographers and artists from Asia, Latin America and the African continent, including, for example, thematic editions on contemporary photography in Japan or China (issues 61 and 76).[21]
