Timm Rautert

Timm Rautert has been an experimental photographer, a photojournalist, a portraitist and, since 1993, a professor. Following his 1974 book, "Deutsche in Uniform, " recently reissued, he has continued to photograph his countrymen, devoting much of his time to extensive series, including one from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 2000. "When We Don't See You You Don't See Us Either" refers in title to the portraitist's vocation of seeing and being seen, and offers Rautert's career for the same defining scrutiny, a portrait of its own. This definitive portfolio spans more than 35 years of distinguished work, much of which has never before been published for English-language audiences.
