Timm Rautert
Timm Rautert (born September 13, 1941 in Tuchel , Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ) is a German photographer and former university professor.
Life
Timm Rautert grew up after fleeing from the West Prussian Tuchel in the Hessian Fulda. After an apprenticeship as a shop window, font and poster designer, he studied photography with Otto Steinert at the Folkwang School of Design in Essen from 1966 to 1971 . During his studies he visited Czechoslovakia, Japan and the USA. In 1970 he was appointed to the Society of German Photographers and in 1973 to the German Society for Photography . In the 1970s and 1980s Rautert worked in particular as a photojournalist , especially for ZEITmagazin , between 1974 and 1983 in close collaboration with the journalist Michael Holzach . In addition, Rautert has also worked for magazines such as Geo and Merian . In parallel to his journalistic activities, Rautert pursued a large number of freelance projects. Rautert lives and works in Essen .
University professor
From 1993 to 2007 he taught as a professor for photography at the University of Graphic Arts and Book Art in Leipzig . His students at the Leipzig Art Academy include Claudia Angelmaier , Laura Bielau, Viktoria Binschtok, Kristleifur Björnsson, Marek Brandt , Johanna Diehl , Wiebke Elzel, Aymeric Fouquez, Bernhard Fuchs , Ulrich Gebert, Göran Gnaudschun, Falk Haberkorn, Grit Hachmeister , Frank Höhle, Margret Hoppe, Sven Johne , Edgar Leciejewski , Alexej Meschtschanow , Jana Müller, Ricarda Roggan , Florian Rossmanith , Nadin Maria Rüfenacht , Adrian Sauer , Oskar Schmidt , Björn Siebert, Sebastian Stumpf , Anett Stuth , Carsten Tabel, Rebecca Wilton and Tobias Zielony .
Artistic work
The project "Image analytical photography" (1968–1974) started by Timm Rautert during his studies at the Folkwang School achieved particular fame. The total of 56 individual works in this cycle examine the fundamentals of photography in the sense of a grammar. A scientific symposium held in September 2016 at the Kupferstich-Kabinett of the State Art Collections in Dresden was devoted exclusively to this group of works. The “Artworks” series, created in 2000, ties in with the early preoccupation with image and photo-theoretical issues.
Rautert devoted himself to portraits of the artist already during his studies. During a trip to Prague in 1967 he made portraits of the Czech photographer Josef Sudek ; On the occasion of a stay in New York, a series of famous portraits by Andy Warhol was created in 1970 . Since then, Rautert has built on this with a large number of other artist portraits, including by Franz Erhard Walther , James Turrell , Robert Ryman , Ed Ruscha , Walter de Maria , Gilbert and George , Blinky Palermo , Joseph Beuys , André Kertész , Josef Koudelka , Gerhard Richter and Neo Rauch . There are also photographic documentations by the Berliner Philharmoniker (1986) and by Otl Aicher and his studio in Rotis (1986–1988).
A focus of his journalistic as well as his free photographic work is on social issues. Photography becomes an instrument of social analysis. Among other things, Rautert devoted himself to the progressive transformation of the world of work (including "Housing of the Invisible. Images of the Third Industrial Revolution", 1986), the meaning of symbols and clothing codes ("People in Uniforms", 1974), order and the Change in social institutions such as the university (“New University”, 1983–1984) and the hospital (“Im Krankenhaus”, 1993) as well as marginalized groups (“Contergan”, 1969; “On the way in German homeless asylums”; 1975). One of the sum of his preoccupations with documentary photography is the project “Our own life - excursions into the unknown society in which we live” (1992) , which he developed together with Ulrich Beck , Wilhelm Vossenkuhl , Ulf Erdmann Ziegler and Otl Aicher.
