Tribes of Our Generation
Jan C. Schlegel
27 Feb - 30 Apr 2023
Tribes of Our Generation is an online exhibition of photographs by Munich-based artist Jan C. Schlegel (b. 1965, Germany). Spanning over two decades, it is articulated around two of Schlegel’s portrait series: “Tribes of Our Generation” (2015 - ongoing) and “Essence” (2012 - ongoing). Artist, adventurer, and humanist, Schlegel has traveled the world since 1998 to capture the diverse identities of our contemporary world. Whether it be indigenous African tribe members or figureheads and “it” girls of Western subcultures, his photographs capture the spirit and primordial essence of their subject.
Beyond tattoos, body ornaments, scarification and elaborate hairstyles, there is a common intrinsic humanity that exudes from his images. This parallel, hence, raises various questions of identity and integration. What elements affiliate us to a specific tribe? How do we choose to present ourselves? Do these various cultures gather us together or separate us?
