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

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

Rosefeldt has exhibited internationally since 1997 at the

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]
