Titled Westalgia: Nostalgia for the West, the Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst (DAAD, German Academic Exchange Service) is presenting a group exhibition of German newcomer photographers, from January 8 to 29, 2015, at the German House in New York. In addition to works by Paul Gisbrecht and Daniel Permanetter, Sven Zellner's Mongolian Disco series was selected as part of the presentation. Zellner's work reveals the largely unknown, luxury lifestyle of the young, upper class in Mongolia's capital, Ulan Bator. You can see the reportage in LFI 2/2014.

Sven Zellner travelled to New York to look after the printing of his pictures at Brooklyns Editions. Brooklyns Editions is not just a studio, but also the printing shop of photographer and master printer Stephen Scott Gross. With over 20 years of professional experience, Scott Gross has the necessary expertise on the technical level, as well as the understanding of how best to realize what the photographers and artists are looking for.

For the presentation of the Mongolian Disco pictures, Sven Zellner and Stephen Scott Gross opted for premium photo paper manufactured by Hahnemühle, black wood frames and no glass. The photographer knew very well that producing the nearly 20 high-quality prints would not be cheap: “The prices here are extremely high,” he says. “The crazy thing, however, is that you can pay with autographed prints.”

The exhibition will run from January 8 to 29, 2015, at the German House at the UN Plaza in New York.

Sven Zellner

Born in Eckernförde in 1977, Zellner studied documentary film and TV journalism in Munich. In 2012, his first film “Der Preis des Goldes” was released in cinemas. It deals with the Situation in Mongolia today. In addition to film commitments, Zellner is giving increasing time to documentary photography.
