Their concerts fill arenas, (almost) everyone recognizes their faces, and all three have performed at the Berlin Olympic Stadium: We’re talking about Bruce Springsteen, Bono of U2, and Udo Lindenberg.

Martin Schoeller is one of the world’s most renowned portrait photographers. His “Close-Up” series began more than 25 years ago and consistently employs the same technical conditions. This brings the subject to the forefront and results in highly authentic works. Born in Munich, he studied photography at the Lette Verein in Berlin and moved to New York in the mid-1990s. His work has been published in “Time,” “The New Yorker,” and “National Geographic,” among others. “We All Bleed Red” is a documentary film that celebrated its world premiere in 2024. Documentary filmmaker Josephine Links accompanied her stepbrother Martin Schoeller during his private photo shoots and shows how the photographer creates very personal spaces for connection with his subjects. The film will be shown on August 2 and 9 at 2:00 p.m. in the Ehrenhalle. No separate tickets are required for the screenings; an admission ticket to the Berlin Olympic Stadium is sufficient.
