Dieter Appelt

Dieter Appelt is a German visual artist known for his experimental photography, video, and installation works. He studied painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, and later became a professor at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg.

Appelt's work often explores the relationships between time, space, and the human body. He is interested in the ways in which we perceive and experience the world around us, and his works often challenge our perceptions of reality. Appelt has been associated with the German "New Objectivity" movement, which emerged in the 1960s and rejected the emotional and subjective qualities of traditional art in favor of a more objective and conceptual approach. Some of Appelt's best-known works include his "Rotating Field" series, in which he created abstract compositions using rotating discs, and his "Black and White Film Noir" series, which featured images of everyday objects and scenes that were rendered eerie and mysterious through the use of stark black and white contrasts. He has also created many video installations that explore themes of time, memory, and perception.
