Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Published to mark his eightieth birthday, Timm Rautert and the Lives of Photography offers a sweeping retrospective of Rautert's extensive artistic career. Covering five decades, the book traces his journey from experimental student work under Otto Steinert in the late 1960s, through his pioneering 'image-analytical photography' in the 1970s, to his collaborative storytelling for ZEITmagazin. It further explores his shift away from journalism in the 1990s towards documenting industrial automation's impact on work, alongside his theoretical image work as a professor in Leipzig. Richly illustrated with both known and previously unpublished photo series, and complemented by essays and an annotated biography, this volume is the most comprehensive collection of his work to date.

Whether we’re individuals or a single society, whether we’re searching for an image or fearful of it—a labyrinth of speculation—Timm Rautert has all in his grasp. He sees every detail, nothing escapes him… - Ulf Erdmann Ziegler

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday, Timm Rautert and the Lives of Photography is an ambitious retrospective of his diverse artistic œuvre. The book spans a half century of photography: from Rautert's experimental beginnings as a student of Otto Steinert at the Folkwang School of Design in Essen in the late 1960s, to the methodical research of his "image-analytical photography" in the mid-1970s.

From his freelance work as a visual storyteller with his congenial partner Michael Holzach for ZEITmagazin, to his turn away from journalism in the early 1990s towards the long-term documentation of changes in the world of work caused by industrial automation, and his artistic theoretical image formations made while professor at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig between 1993 and 2008.

Timm Rautert and the Lives of Photography is the most comprehensive publication of Rautert's work to date, combining extensive photo series—some unpublished till now—with six essays and an annotated biography.
