Work on closed communities

Herrmann's visual research focuses on closed group identities. She works with the stereotypical image on those groups to create a deeper analysis by mean of humanistic documentary photography. She started working on German student fraternities known as Studentenverbindung, for example at Corps Saxonia Jena, one of the German Student Corps in Jena. Her most recognized work is "Man among Men" [10] [11] a visual approach to Freemasonry in an international context. [12] It shows portraits of Freemasons, photographs of their lodges and rituals, including ordinary pictures of the daily life in the lodges and the regular activities of the Freemasons, documented during 5 years of research. [13] Herrmann's work was published as a book [14] [15] in 2017 for the 300-year jubilee of modern Freemasonry, being controversial discussed within Freemasonry as it may have revealed many of its secrets. [16] Nevertheless, as Herrmann's work was published by the magazine of the German national weekly newspaper Die Zeit [17] in 2015, it was described by freimaurer-wiki.de, a website affiliated with the Freemason community, as a "clear up of outdated prejudices." [18] Since 2018 she is working with Scout groups in Germany, following them in summer camps, assemblies, hikes and big events such as the 24th World Scout Jamboree. [19] A selection of pictures of scouts from different countries was exhibit in the MOUNTAINVIEW Gallery of Kunstraum Fuhrwerkswaage in Cologne, in 2021. [20] [21]

Female photographers rights

Besides her contribution to the photography of closed communities, Herrmann is a female photographers rights activist. [22] Together with the photographers Laura Morgenstern, Melina Mörsdorf, Alexandra Lechner, Claudia Gödke and Claudia Masur and Angelika Zinzow, she was one of the founding members of the German female photographers association Female Photoclub in 2020. [23] The club was originally initiated by Nora Tabel [24] and Laura Morgenstern in Berlin in 2017. [25] Thanks to the club, according to Herrmann "the women become bolder and more self-confident, and are exchanging and networking more with each other." [26] Female Photoclub has as mission to increase the visibility of female photographers and to draw attention to grievances, shape public discourse, and cause perspectives of women photographers to be seen.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Freemasonry</span> Group of fraternal organizations

Freemasonry or Masonry refers to fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 13th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of two main recognition groups: Regular Freemasonry, which insists that a volume of scripture be open in a working lodge, that every member professes belief in a Supreme Being, that no women be admitted, and that the discussion of religion and politics do not take place within the lodge; and Continental Freemasonry, which consists of the jurisdictions that have removed some, or all, of these restrictions.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anti-Masonry</span> Opposition to Freemasonry

Anti-Masonry is "avowed opposition to Freemasonry", which has led to multiple forms of religious discrimination, violent persecution, and suppression in some countries as well as in various organized religions. However, there is no homogeneous anti-Masonic movement. Anti-Masonry consists of radically differing criticisms from frequently incompatible political institutions and organized religions that oppose each other, and are hostile to Freemasonry in some form.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Freemasonry in Germany</span>

Freemasonry in Germany started in several places during the second quarter of the Eighteenth century. After the extinction of the Rite of Strict Observance, which had a wide following and claimed Templar origins for its higher degrees, the several Grand Lodges in Germany defied all attempts at unification, although a largely ineffectual central organisation came into being with the unification of Germany. During the 1920s Freemasons were harassed alongside Jews by those taken in by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and blamed for the German surrender of 1918. This culminated with the suppression of Freemasonry by the Nazis in 1935, with many Masons in Germany and occupied countries being executed or sent to concentration camps. Freemasonry returned to Germany after World War Two. A single central body now represents five "regular" Grand Lodges. Liberal, women's, and mixed lodges also exist.
