Katja Ruge
>> Rondo – Berning, Brunnenstraße 152, 10115 Berlin (Mitte)
>> in German
Seeing the beat. Hearing a moment. For photographer, deejay, and music producer Katja Ruge, photography, music, portrait, and pop are inextricably linked. A look at her haunting portraits gives us the feeling that we can see through to the inner core of the people photographed and their otherwise hidden character traits. It’s a skill based on craftsmanship: Katja Ruge learned her trade as a photo laboratory tech nician from the bottom up, having worked as a photo assistant in England and as a music promoter and art di rec tor before dedicating herself entirely to photography in 2000. With her subtle powers of observation and an intuitive sense of visual composition, Ruge has already created hun dreds of iconic portraits for magazines, musicians, and artists.

He took up photography in the late 70s during the heydays of the punkpheno menon in West Berlin and London, de liver ing a tight portrayal of the movement and its peculiar atti tude towards life in limbo be tween a utopian vision of anar chy and nihilistic self destruc t ion. After 15 years in the States (NYC, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh) he returned to Berlin. In 1995 he went for three months to Moscow to descend into the lower depth of PostCommunist society. From the early 2000’s on Zownir ventured for several photo excursions to Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Cali fornia, the Ukraine and Istan bul. He is also a filmmaker and writer of crime novels.
