Life

Lorenz Kienzle spent his childhood and youth in Munich. Lorenz Kienzle remembers the first photo well, which he enlarged himself during his school days in the 1980s, as he reported to the Berliner Woche in connection with the exhibition My first good photo in the gallery of the Berliner Brotfabrik in 2015. “In art class at my school, I had only spent a single hour in the darkroom. I still remember how the teacher urged me to quickly lift the photo paper from bowl to bowl. "

After a one-year stay in Rome (1990–1991) at the Istituto Superiore di Fotografia, he trained as a photographer at the professional photography school at the Lette-Verein in Berlin (1991–1993). Since graduating in 1993, he has been working as a freelance photographer, with a focus on industrial culture, architecture, urban space and portraits.

Lorenz Kienzle has been working in the field of documentary photography for museums and other cultural institutions since 1999. From 2006 he photographed large sculptures by the American artist Richard Serra in public spaces around the world. Including in 2008 on behalf of Serras in the Grand Palais in Paris , in the course of Monumenta 2008, the installation Promenade specially made by Serra for this exhibition for the exhibition catalog and other advertising media such as posters, press photos, etc.

In his artistic photographic work, one focus since 2002 has been the examination of the works of the writer Theodor Fontane . In the case of the Tatort Fontane series , these were primarily Fontane's novels, for which Kienzle took photographs from today's perspective at original locations. In 2019, the series was supplemented by current works on a total of 11 novels and shown in the Fontanes Berlin exhibition in the Märkisches Museum. As a result of an exhibition project with archive photographs by the GDR photographer Heinz Krüger , since 2017 his focus has also been on Fontane's hikes through the Mark Brandenburg . The result of numerous photo excursions into the Berlin area by bike can be found in the book Brandenburger Notizen since March 2019 . Fontane - Krüger - Kienzle and an exhibition in the Museum Falkensee as part of Fontane.200 , a series of programs funded by Kulturland Brandenburg . Further literature research deals with the work of Alfred Döblin. Here, too, Kienzle seeks out the original locations for the novels, particularly in Berlin. The first results of this research can be found in the publication of the Swedish festival O / Modernt The Art of Borrowing: Or How One Thing Leads to Another (2016).

Photos by Lorenz Kienzle can be found in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao , the German Museum of Technology in Berlin , the Brandenburg Museum of Industry and in numerous private collections. In 2016, the Stadtmuseum Berlin bought his series Tatort Fontane . It was presented as part of Fontane 200 from September 2019 together with original manuscripts of Fontane novels and cityscapes of Berlin from Fontane's time in the show Fontane Berlin - Photographs & Writings.
