Vivian Maier is a puzzle that a lot of people are still trying to put together. What we know is that she was born in New York, that she dedicated most of her adult life to taking care of children and that she loved photography.

But we only know the photography part because John Maloof bought a bunch of boxes at an auction in Chicago and her pictures were there. That is how Vivian Maier came known to the public, and most of the people that knew her don’t believe she would like the attention her work is gathering.

Vivian Maier’s work is being exhibited at Willy Brandt Haus in Berlin from February 19 until April 12, 2015, and you need to see it.

Vivian Maier’s Photography

Vivian Maier’s photography is amazing. She knows how to capture people in a way that would make her a master of street photography if her work was known to more people when she was still alive. She explored the poorer areas of New York and Chicago with a camera at hand and was always looking for curious situations and characters. This is one of my favorite characteristics of her work.

But Vivian Maier was an extremely reserved person. To the point of hiding her work from curious eyes wherever she was living. That might sound weird to most people but, after watching a documentary telling her story, it seems plausible and makes every part of this story even more interesting.

But, everybody has the question that will be left unanswered. Since Vivian Maier never tried to exhibit her work, how can we know for sure what was her artistic intent? This we will never know, but we can appreciate the pictures she took and wonder what was going on inside her head back them.
