Wim Wenders, distinguished filmmaker and co-founder of the New German Cinema, is also a world-renowed photographer. He has exhibited his large format, panoramic photographs in Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Bilbao, Moscow and Copenhagen. Taken during the 1970's and 1980's, from the time of such films as 'The American Friends', 'Paris, Texas' and 'Wings of Desire', the polaroids reveal friends, actors and personal heroes, objects, places and situations from the everyday life of the travelling filmmaker.
