Michael Ruetz
Poesie der Zeit. Timescapes 1966–2023
Michael Ruetz has been observing the transformation of natural and urban environments in places in Berlin, Germany and Europe in a photographic study since the mid-1960s. We designed all the media for his exhibition at the Akademie der Künste.
His works, called Timescapes, comprise more than 600 locations with thousands of photographs. The central concept of Timescapes is that the camera's location and line of sight are always the same, only the time intervals between the series of images vary.
The exhibition focuses on the timescapes of Berlin. The profound transformation of German society in the post-war period, after reunification and in the present is particularly effectively condensed in these photographic works.
