The wide horizon of the prairie on which the sun sets, galloping
horses, and laid-back cowboys swinging lassos. These are the images
that lend the myth of America visual form, make it both visible as
well as palpable. Unlike hardly any other contemporary artist, the
photographer Dieter Blum (*1936 in Esslingen) has dealt with,
updated, and scrutinized this subject. The sixty photographs in the
series Cowboys, which were taken in 1992 for Marlboro, testify to
this and are being assembled for the first time in their entirety
in this exhibition catalogue. The topos of the "lonesome cowboy" is
ruptured in a humorous way and replaced by a "worker" who pursues
everyday activities in a team-stands at the bar, reads the
newspaper, washes laundry, skies, takes a bath. An enchanting story
that converts fiction into fact, myth into reality, and
deconstructs them.Exhibition: Daimler Contemporary, Berlin
