"Michael Schmidt invited a number of American photographers such as William Eggleston, Larry Clark, Lewis Baltz and John Gossage to Berlin where they made work and gave workshops. Made in the wake of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ahnung is concerned with "the sense of uncertainty that the advent of this brave new world might generate, and also about how colour photographs can be made to reflect feelings rather than just documenting the superficial aspect of things."
