The World Is Out Of Focus sees director Iben Haahr Andersen introduce us to four female photographers—Else Tholstrup, Nanna Bisp Büchert, Marianne Engberg and Tove Kurtzweil. Tholstrup (b. 1929), trained in Chicago at the New Bauhaus and is the author of an extensive body of work including important documentation of the Syrian War. Bisp Büchert (b. 1937) is a self-taught photographer whose most powerful works ‘Family Photos With a Difference’ speaks to a tragic family history and the transience of life. Engberg (b. 1937) worked first as an advertising and studio photographer, and later as an art photographer. She began experimenting with pinhole photography in the 1960s and her work has been exhibited around the world and is held by major collections. The late Kurtzweil (b. 1938) was a bohemian, poet and philosopher who lived in Copenhagen where children, a darkroom, friends and the young boyfriend—who was both muse and assistant—filled up her life.
