A Disenchanted Playroom (Ein entzaubertes Kinderzimmer)
Thirteen photographs by Wolfram Hahn

Opening reception with photographer Wolfram Hahn: Wednesday, November 19, 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
RSVP to 202-289-1200 ext. 167 or rsvp@washington.goethe.org.

Capturing children’s facial expressions as they watch television, photographer Wolfram Hahn’s images portray how children react to this mass medium, losing the subtle charm of real life as they fall under its influence. Their regards seem sad and lifeless, with facial expressions more to be associated with adults. What transfixes their attention, causing them to stare so fixedly at a single point yet remain so detached?

Gallery Hours: Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm, Friday 9am-3pm
