News

  • "Julian Rosefeldt, Nothing is Original" (from 24.05. - 16.09. at C/O Berlin)
    I am very happy about the wonderful exhibition by Julian Rosefeldt and I am very proud to have been involved in (almost) all of the works as DoP!

    Andreas Kilb writes about the exhibition in the FAZ (02.06.25):
    "In interviews, Rosefeldt appears modest and matter-of-fact, but on set and together with his cameraman Christoph Krauss, he becomes a magician - there is hardly any other way to explain the creation of his cinematic feats."
