Tata Ronkholz - Kiosks and snack bars (Trinkhallen und Imbissbuden)

Tata Ronkholz

In 1977 Tata Ronkholz began photographing kiosks (Trinkhallen) and snack bars (Imbissbuden) in Dusseldorf and its nearby cities. Her radius soon expanded to include Cologne, the Rurhr region, and other surrounding areas.

Interplay

As a trained product designer and interior architect with a keen sense for interplay and function, form, surfaces, order and objects, for Tata Ronkholz the kiosks, in all their ordinariness, are individually designed spaces and functional buildings that refer to social needs and economic opportunities.
