Gosbert Gottmann Marathon People
"Gottmann is taking pictures of Marathon People without interest in the race, as paradoxical as it may sound. He sees right through the event, creating a transcendental piece of sport for the masses, discovering something else behind it, that has possibly little to do with healthy exercise, but more with social, cultural or even political questions, according to the understanding that photography can do more than simply duplicate the reality around us. … Gosbert Gottmann consistently renounced any specific captions. No location, no date, no name. Frankfurt am Main may have been the site of recording, but that's not important. All that matters is: marathon is everywhere." (Hans-Michael Koetzle)
