One must perhaps at some time in one's life have
burnt one's bridges only to learn how important
bridges can be in the life of man.
Oliver Rossdeutscher did it! Successful photographer
and designer with his own studio in Hamburg, his book
"No rites", in which he describes the Inner Circle of
the Technoscene. And then he sells his complete
household and leaves for the Caribbean. Following the
trails of Gauguins the photographer finds painting.
Moreover, he finds himself. In the infinite silence
at the other end of the world he notices noise.
It's the brute buzzing and humming of City life, the
shouts of passers-by, honking cars and the constant
rumble of trains. Oliver Rossdeutscher needs big
cities, the hustle and bustle of metropolises. This
is what he knows now. So he returns.
At the turn of the millennium he's back. He turns to
the wild poet of the city. City as a concept, the
testimony of extensiveness. He travels between
Hamburg and New York. His devotion to painting, as
experienced in the Caribbean, he takes to Hamburg and
combines it with the professionalism of the
photographer. The pictures he henceforth creates are
dizzying rollercoaster rides between euphoria and
fear. The former student of the University School of
Communication Design has developed a completely unique style. After
an excessive and thourough search for motives he
edits the resulting photos on the computer and
transforms them into futuristic collages.
