November 17, 2012 THE HILTON BROTHERS: Tyrants and Lederhosen
Photographer's Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg (a.k.a. the Hilton Brothers) break new ground with this modern take on the photo travelogue. After 7 years traveling the globe as non-traditional 'photo-anthropologists', the duo captures a raw candor with their pictures, void of restraint and self-consciousness.
The duo are storytellers through their photographs, seeming to unconsciously explore the contradictions and obsessions of Myth.
It is an artistic collaboration like no other. Two photographers in an intense collaboration over several years; one with a legendary resume photographing many of the 20th Centuries biggest pop icons, such as Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, Man Ray; to a rising creative talent; fearless, borderless, with fresh eyes, known firstly for his seductive flower portraits.

October 21, 2012 Christopher Makos lernte bei Man Ray, zeigte Andy Warhol wie man eine Kamera benutzt und machte ihn mit Michel Basquiat bekannt. Paul Solberg machte sich bislang vor allem durch seine Floral-Fotografien einen Namen. 2004 lernte er Christopher Makos kennen. Zusammen arbeiten sie seitdem als die Hilton Brothers. Sie stimmen ihre bunten Anzüge aufeinander ab und stellen gemeinsam aus. So zum Beispiel auch für "Andy Dandy and other works" in der Berliner Galerie Hiltawsky, in der wir die beiden New Yorker Fotografen zum Gespräch trafen. |

December 4, 2011 Hilton Brothers at Galerie Catherine Houard
Christopher Makos était l'assistant, le bras droit de Warhol. Paul Solberg est également photographe, auteur d'un livre qui a fait date, Bloom. Les deux artistes se sont rencontrés il y a sept ans et, trouvant que leur sensibilité était proche, il ont décidé de s'unir pour former The Hilton Brothers, un nom qui sonne comme un groupe rock. Ils se sont amusés, par exemple, à photographier le même sujet et à comparer leur résultat et comment leur image exprime leur sensibilité. En studio, ils réunissaient les deux images pour en faire une seule. 1+1 = 3. |
