From 15 November 2024 to 23 February 2025 the Museum Folkwang in Essen staged a wide-ranging exhibition dedicated to the work of Marie-Claude Deffarge (1924–1984) and Gordian Troeller (1917–2003). Titled “Deffarge & Troeller: No Pictures to Dream of. ‘Stern’-Features and Documentaries”, it presented a comprehensive review of the life’s work of this photojournalistic duo. The some 300 prints, twelve documentary films and extensive source materials drawn from their estate were supplemented by ten written commentaries and films in which today’s professionals engaged critically with the topics covered.
