The photographer\u0026rsquo;s work turns the person in the picture into an icon, or the photos into the witnesses of a personality. Today, hardly anyone makes this kind of art as imaginatively as the Leica-wielding photographer Manfred Baumann does. Instead of guiding the stars through the same setting over and over, he goes to them. Long before he presses the shutter release, he develops refined concepts for the pictures that will congenially express the individuality of the other person.

In this series of works on paper and canvas, the highly talented artist explores the roles and characters of his acting career on stage and in front of the camera. Even in... he opens a new chapter of pictorial production and at the same time invites a series of diverse references to his acting career. As one of the most popular actors in the GDR, he left in 1980, filmed in West Germany with Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Lola), and from 1989 also enjoyed great success in Hollywood, including works with Barry Levinson (Avalon), Jim Jarmusch (Night on Earth), Steven Soderbergh (Kafka), and Volker Schlöndorff (The Ogre).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eARMIN MUELLER-STAHL (*1930) is one of the most successful German actors ever. After training as a musician (violin), he began his acting career in East Berlin. With numerous theater and film roles (including in Königskinder, Nackt unter Wölfen, and Jakob der Lügner), he was one of the most popular actors in the GDR. As a co-signer of the petition against the expatriation of Wolf Biermann, he received no further engagements from 1976 onwards, left the GDR in 1980, and successfully continued his career not only in West Germany but also internationally. In 2001, he returned to German screens in the role of Thomas Mann in Heinrich Breloer's family saga Die Manns – Ein Jahrhundertroman and received the Grimme Prize for his performance.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811906887944,"sku":"9783775758024","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775758024.jpg?v=1745995675"},{"product_id":"67274-after-cinema","title":"After Cinema","description":"An informative and inspiring, richly illustrated book about the contemporary art of the moving image: It aims to use the latest technologies to short-circuit the universally understood language of mass media and to make art a critical mirror of its era once again.

Oh Man","description":"Following \"Autistic Disco\", \"O Mensch\" is the new photo book by Berlin actor Lars Eidinger. It combines photographs taken over the last three years with a mobile phone camera and an SLR camera, some of which are much older. Eidinger's pictures only superficially resemble seemingly harmless snapshots. In a society of singularities and blurring boundaries between man and machine, the absurd reality of everyday life appears like a colossal photomontage. Probably from the perspective of an actor who knows that the reciprocal presence of good and evil is the core of every true and touching character, Lars Eidinger creates images that place human ambiguity at the center. The Japanese, Berlin-based poet Yoko Tawada has written short poems in the form of haikus for individual works. This further expands the interpretive space with a poetic dimension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther information about current events with Lars Eidinger can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/blogs\/news\/lars-eidinger\" title=\"Lars Eidinger – O Mensch | Hatje Cantz Verlag\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLARS EIDINGER (*1976, Berlin) is considered one of Germany's most distinguished actors, celebrated for his expressive performances of great performative power as a long-standing ensemble member of the Berliner Schaubühne, as well as for his profound and at the same time almost tenderly sensitive portrayals in film. Building on his first photo book, Eidinger increasingly gives photography more space as a form of expression and a means of self-exploration.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-5311-1)","offer_id":51345826152712,"sku":"9783775753111","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Book (signed) (978-6-00003246-3)","offer_id":51345826185480,"sku":"9786000032463","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775753111.jpg?v=1746083425"},{"product_id":"9783775762724","title":"Christian Hartmann. Actors","description":"At a time when digital filters and quick selfies dominate visual culture, photographer Christian Hartmann sets a deliberate counterpoint. His new photo book is dedicated to actor portraits – but he is not interested in staged poses, but in the person behind the mask. Hartmann's eye is trained by classical fashion photography and years of apprenticeship in New York with icons such as Annie Leibovitz. He now uses this profound knowledge of light and composition not for fashion campaigns, but to psychologically illuminate characters. His working method is puristic and analog: without technical distractions on set, he creates a space of trust that enables a genuine encounter. The resulting photographs impress with their quiet dignity and timelessness. They document that rare moment when personality becomes visible – characterized by a balance of empathetic closeness and respectful distance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Hartmann (born 1956) learned his craft in Munich and as an assistant in New York, including with Sante D'Orazio and Michel Comte. After a career as an advertising and fashion photographer, he has focused almost exclusively on portraits since 2004. His focus is on collaborating with actors, whose personalities he captures in timeless aesthetics. He lives in Munich.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53135863054600,"sku":"9783775762724","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775762724.jpg?v=1772610745"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/collections\/film-theater-performing-arts.oembed","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
