Stefan Paubel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Paubel (born July 9, 1952 in East Berlin ) is a German media designer and artist . From the 2010s onwards, he made a name for himself as a project artist who compiled new street and city views from individual photos. In the late summer of 2015, his photomontages were shown in Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice . Since 2017 he has published two books.

Life

Stefan Paubel went to the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Oberschule in the East Berlin district of Pankow . After graduating from high school in 1969, he did an apprenticeship at VEB Görlitzer Maschinenbau, completed his service in the NVA and then studied mechanical engineering in Dresden and Görlitz until 1975 . Until 1978 he expanded his training by attending the technical school for club leaders in Meissen- Siebeneichen. Then Paubel returned to Berlin. In 1986 the magistrate offered him to run a computer club in the House of Young Talents in Berlin-Mitte . He had already dealt with computers individually since 1984 .

With the turnaround and the end of the Städtisches Kulturhaus, Stefan Paubel switched to media design. He created video installations to order. Along the way, he discovered that photos that had already been collected (initially analog photos, soon also digital photos) could be used to create completely new street or city views through montages . The idea of ​​the public presentation arose in the Freundeskreis when he presented the up to 1.60 meter long colored city friezes . The cultural offices of Berlin's districts were particularly interested in such a presentation of their hometown, and in 2011 the first exhibition in Berlin-Mitte was entitled “Berlin Houses Escape”. The media and visitor interest prompted him to create more new types of streets from other districts. With the collages, however, he was not restricted to Berlin, but provided some Baltic cities with new cityscapes, and Polish and Italian cities have now also been depicted. At the end of 2013, his art project of printed cityscapes comprised 80 Berlin images and 70 photo fries from other cities.

Stefan Paubel is married. The family lives in Berlin-Weißensee .
