  • I am Raffaele Horstmann from Germany. I have been a freelance photographic artist since 2010. I work in parallel on different series of works that are constantly growing and changing in their process. The visually very different ways of working reflect my experiences as a person who has grown up in different value structures through my german and italian roots. The concepts of my staged photography are a reminder of respect and mindfulness – towards the world, its people and their freedom.

    "Photography allows me to convey emotions beyond the borders of language and words" – Raffaele Horstmann

    My work thrives on contrasts and imbalance. Beauty is opposed to the imperfect, light to darkness and silence to the great noise of our time. With my artworks I orientate thematically on current social, political or personal change and the repression of the present. I specifically take up perspectives that reshape the usual view of the world.

    In my exhibitions I show my artworks as large-format photographs, which are often displayed in space-related and walk-in installations. I also publish books of my work series.
