Life and work

[edit]

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 University Weimar. Since 2010, Rosefeldt has been a member of the Bayerische 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] Since 2013, he has also been serving on the board of trustees of the Kino der Kunst festival in Munich.[10]

Rosefeldt's video installations include Manifesto (2015) where Cate Blanchett plays 13 roles performing various manifestos, and Euphoria (2022) with Giancarlo Esposito, Cate Blanchett and others.[11][12]

Exhibitions

[edit]

Rosefeldt has exhibited internationally since 1997 at the São Paulo Art Biennial (2004), Athens Biennale (2007), the P.S.1 New York (1998), Kunst-Werke Berlin (2004), the Royal Academy of Arts London (2008), and the Kunstmuseum Bonn (2009), amongst others. Rosefeldt's first solo show in the United States was presented in 2009 by his ARNDT Berlin, in the space of Phillips de Pury & Company.[13] His videos were seen in Montreal in 2018[14] and in Washington at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in 2019.[15]
