Among other places, her pictures were taken in the USA, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Haiti, Venezuela and Brazil, Senegal and France. Her journeys, however, always began in Hamburg, where she purchased her first Leica on installments in 1950.
Her numerous reportages and series produced around the world appeared in great German magazines such as Stern, Spiegel, Geo and Zeit. Mau would have been 100 years old in 2016 and, on the occasion of that jubilee, the exhibition with its 130 photographs offers a comprehensive glimpse at her whole body of work.
