Concept of the Artist

He sees photography as an allegory of the passage between life and death and sees not only a way to fix his own mortality but also to capture the passage of time.Time and light are also inseparable in most of his early work.It thus operates in a very theatrical fusion of his body with the materials of the world (earth, stone) with a kind of mineralization.He continued in that his thinking on the relationship between man and his environment.From a technical point of view, he photographed in black and white his face or his hands in the natural elements.He practices a series of overlapping infinitesimal shooting countless times with a prolonged exposure, giving them an almost spectral materiality.By this principle of stratification and emphasizing their materiality, the body or objects become truly sculpture.In his series of “Objects”, it operates the same way with mysterious geometric shapes, hemispheres, cubes from elements of industrial architecture, to whom he gives the same spectral appearance and touch.So it uses all the possibilities offered to the photographic medium constantly trying to make time visible.Dieter Appelt is marked at the same time in modern literature.http://www.artfinding.com/3117/Biography/Appelt-Dieter
