Juliane Herrmann (born 28 April 1989) is a German photographer and curator based in Cologne. She studied photography at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Germany and the AKV St. Joost in the Netherlands. Herrmann's work is known for her visual research on closed communities such as Freemasonry, Scouting, and Students' union.[1] Since 2017, she is editor of the photography magazine Beyond.[2] In the last years she has been curating photography exhibitions as Facing Gender – f2 Fotofestival, in the Kulturort Depot, Dortmund [3], and Beyond III – [post]koloniale Gegenwart, in the Altes Pfandhaus, Köln.[4]
Work on closed communities
Herrmann visual research is focus on closed group identities. She works with the stereotypical image on those groups to create a deeper analysis by mean of humanistic documental photography. She started working on the German student fraternities known as Studentenverbindung, the Corps Saxonia, one of the German Student Corps in Jena. Nevertheless, her most recognized work was her visual approach to the Freemasonry. It includes photographs of members of the Freemasonry, their lodges, and rituals, including ordinary pictures of the dailylive in the lodges and the regular activities of the freemasons, documented during 5 years of research. Herrmann’s was published in 2017 for the 300-year jubilee of modern Freemasonry, being controversial within Freemasonry as it may have revealed many of its secrets. Nevertheless, as Herrmann work was published by the German national weekly newspaper Die Zeit[5] in 2015, it was referenced by the own Freemason community as a „clear up of outdated prejudices.“ [6] Since then she is working with Scout groups in North Rhine-Westphalia, following them in summer camps, assemblies, hikes and big events such as the 24th World Scout Jamboree. A selection of pictures of scouts from different countries was exhibit in the MOUNTAINVIEW Gallery in 2021. [7]
Female photographers rights
Besides her outstanding contribution to closed communities photography, Herrmann is a well regarded female photographers rights activist. Together with the photographers Laura Morgenstern, Melina Mörsdorf, Alexandra Lechner, Claudia Gödke and Claudia Masurand Angelika Zinzow, she was one of the founder members of the association Female Photoclub, established after the original idea by Nora Tabel and Laura Morgenstern in Berlin in 2017. Thanks to the club, according to Herrmann "the women are becoming bolder and more self-confident and are exchanging and networking more with each other."[8]Female Photoclub has as mission to increase the visibility of female photographers and to draw attention to grievances, shape public discourse, and cause perspectives of women photographers to be seen.
