Life and work

Julian Rosefeldt studied architecture in Munich and Barcelona.[1][2] After receiving his diploma in 1994, he began working in collaboration with fellow Munich graduate Piero Steinle.[3]

Rosefeldt’s work consists primarily of elaborate, visually opulent film and video installations. In most cases, these installations are shown as panoramic multi-channel projections. They range in style from documentary to theatrical narrative.[4] In Lonely Planet (2006), for example, the artist portrays a hippie-ish Western backpacker on a trip through India; as he moves through a series of clichéd sequences, including a frenetic Bollywood-inspired dance number, the camera periodically pulls back to reveal spotlights, dressing rooms and other filmmaking necessities.[5] Rosefeldt primarily uses 16-mm and 35-mm film and has often worked in close cooperation with the cinematographer Christoph Krauss.[6][7]

Rosefeldt has lived and worked in Berlin since 1999, when he relocated as Artist in Residence at the Sammlung Hoffmann.[8]

In addition to his art production, Rosefeldt also works with the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz,often collaborating with its head and creative director Thomas Ostermeier. In 2009, Rosefeldt was invited as a guest professor by the Media Art and Media Design faculty at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Since 2010, Rosefeldt has been a member of the Bayerischen Akademie der Schönen Künste in the division of Film and Media Art. Since 2011, he has been professor at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich.[9]
