In a video produced by C/O Berlin in connection with their 2021 retrospective, chief curator Felix Hoffmann and Carlos Gollonet, curator at Fundación MAPFRE, where the show originated, talk about Lee Friedlander’s work and the mark he’s made on photography as an art form. Among the topics they discuss are the influence of jazz on Friedlander’s work, the shift towards a screen-based culture that he documented, and his long running interest in the social landscape.
