Biography

German photographer who studied at the Dusseldorf Academy between 1977 and 1985, under Becher. He did single portraits of his family and friends and large coloured portraits of heads in a sober, documentary-like style. After 1987, he photographed German buildings selected according to his personal interest, rather than their style or characteristics. In 1988, he received a fund for young artists awarded by the Nordrhein-Westfalen state and, in 1989, he produced black and white photographs of the night sky using material from the South Europe Observatory. In 1992, he participated in the Documenta 9 in Kassel and, in 1995, at the Venice Biennale. In the mid 90s, he began making synthetic computer manipulated portraits.
