Synopsis

Christian Rothmann (b. Kedzierzyn, Poland, 1954; lives and works in Berlin) is an artistic jack-of-all-trades, a builder of bridges between cultures, and a restless globetrotter and traveler across time. He takes photographs wherever he goes, especially when he is on the road, gathering documentaries with a creative edge, spontaneous yet powerfully symbolic pictures, or conceptual series. He has a special knack for recruiting accomplices from all age groups and across social and cultural differences, as for his series "you and me" or "Mother & Daughter". Fierce large-format paintings and delicate watercolours on small paper formats from Rothmann's studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg complement his long-term photographic projects. The Light Touch presents the artist's variegated visual art on almost five hundred pages. With contributions by Dorothee Baer-Bogenschütz, F.W. Bernstein, Liane Burkhardt/Gerd Harry Lybke, Ilonka Czerny, Jürgen Ebertowski, Elfie E. Fröhlich, Matthias Harder, Andreas Haus, Young Hay, Thea Herold, Wolfgang Heyder, Daniela Kloock, Barbara Robra, Christian Rothmann, Christiane Stahl, Gerd Stern, Christoph Tannert, Wim Wenders, and Hanns Zischler.
